I was trying to set up some aliases using the Notation package and noticed some odd behavior when Plus[] is included in the right hand side. I distilled it down to the following, and I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. The command I set up is: Notation[a <=> Plus[b,c] ] With the following behavior: In[1]:= b + c Out[1]= a In[2]:= b + c + 1 Out[2]= 1+b+c In[3]:= b + c + 0 Out[3]= a Case 1 and 3 work as expected, but case 2 is not. Any ideas? The goal is to set up aliases for Bessel and Hankel functions in some EM work, and it was working very nicely until I hit this 'minor' roadblock. Thanks, Josh
