Hi,

what is with

\[Psi][x_, t_] := Exp[-(x - t)^2/(2 (1 + t))]/Sqrt[1 + t];

Manipulate[
  Plot[\[Psi][x, t], {x, -2, 10}, AxesLabel -> {"x", " "},
   Ticks -> False, PlotLabel -> "t = " <> ToString[t],
   PlotRange -> {0, 1}], {{t, 0}, 0., 10., Appearance -> "Open"}]

and than click the black |> symbol

Regards
   Jens
