Jason: A single introductory equals sign (without Ctrl) allows natural language queries of the kernel. Two introductory equals signs allow natural language queries of Wolfram Alpha. Ctrl+== is used to modify previously-entered queries. Best, Harvey -----Original Message----- From: J.

If I type Ctrl+== followed by ==09plot sin x and cos x as listed in the examples, I get an error message saying that no Mathematica translations exist. Yet if I evaluate ==09WolframAlpha["plot sin x and cos x"] I get the output I would expect. Many thanks, Jason -- Dr J.
