Hi, you can't change anything on a locked symbol. Regards Jens "Chris Young" <c1572young at earthlink.net> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:du83rr$t12$1 at smc.vnet.net... | I'd like to be able to occasionally use all the letters of the alphabet | (or at least the first 12 or so), both small and capital letters, for | variables. I think it's the easiest way to present a lot of formulas. I | was able to Unprotect everything except "I", which Mathematica reserves | for the "imaginary unity", "i". Is there any way to temporarily | unprotect "I"? | | (Also, I wish there was some way to copy the example from my notebook | without all the extraneous back-slashes, etc.) | | What I get from Mathematica is as follows: | | Unprotect[I] | Protect::locked: "Symbol \[ImaginaryI] is locked. | | Attributes[I] | {Locked, Protected, ReadProtected} | | ClearAttributes[I, Locked] | Attributes::locked: Symbol \[ImaginaryI] is locked. | | Clear[I] | Clear::wrsym: Symbol \[ImaginaryI] is Protected. | | ClearAll[I] | ClearAll::"wrsym": "Symbol \[ImaginaryI] is Protected." | | Any help appreciated. | | -- Chris Young | c56young at earthlink.net |
