Hi, Just to add that it even sounds a bit rare that the facility conversion to V6 from previous versions included in that version 6 does not complain about the occurrence of Developer`ContextFreeForm nor offers an alternative as it does for other compatibility issues.

Martin-Serrano [mailto:eMartinSerrano at telefonica.net] Sent: Saturday, February 19, 2011 9:51 PM To: 'mathgroup at smc.vnet.net' Subject: [mg116589] DeveloperContextFreeForm and local symbols in packages Hi, On 2003, I sent to MathGroup the question whose answer is in the link below. http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2003/Jun/msg00146.html The idea was to remove the description of the context of local variables in packages (the syntactical sugar, I said in that post), as to make clearer the definitions inside the private context of packages, which really makes obscure these definitions. With the answer given in the link to me question, I wrote a trivial function which made the trick as follows, FullSymbolInfo[s_Symbol]:=Module[{d=FullDefinition[s]//Developer`ContextFree Form},If[d==Null,Print["Symbol '"<>ToString[s]<>"' not defined"],d]] The idea was *Developer`ContextFreeForm* applied to the (full) definition of the symbols in the private context, but now without the Developer`ContextFreeForm* facility available, the function does not work any more (I think it worked up to the version 6). I have unsuccessfully tried to find a substitution for it, (for the *Developer`ContextFreeForm* command) might someone in the group come up with an alternative? The function *FullSymbolInfo[s_Symbol]* used to be very useful. Cheers. E.
