Hi, these things have all the same representation in Mathematica, even some guys think that a Object is different from a Function. Regards Jens "Steven T. Hatton" <hattons at globalsymmetry.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:dislg0$mg4$1 at smc.vnet.net... | Section 2.1.2 of The Mathematica Book for 5.2 discusses different ways to | interpret parts of expressions.
