Hi Dave,
very good! It is what I wanted!
By your trick is possible to define reals:
realList = {A, B, G, x, y};
RealQ[f_] := MemberQ[realList, f]
So that, correctly, if
P=AZ +BY +Gy+xU;
P* gives
Gy+xU*+BY*+AZ*
But  Conjugate[P] don't works since it simply echoes
Conjugate[Ux+Gy+BY+AZ]. So better the star suffix!
Fine! Many thanks! Roberto

This will do it.
x,y are real, any others are complex.
RealQ[f_]:=MemberQ[{x,y},f}
SuperStar[f_?RealQ]:=f
SuperStar[f_?NumberQ]:=Conjugate[f]
SuperStar[f:_[___]]:=SuperStar/@f
Cheers,
Dave Snead

Dear Dave,
many thanks again.
Now I have the problem to tell Mathematica that same variables are reals and=
 have not to be 'starred' so that
(x+Iy+z)* is not  x*+Iy*+z* but x-Iy+z*  (if x and y are reals and z
unknown). Command   like Element[x, Reals]
does not work.
Sincerely yours Roberto

This will give you what you want:
SuperStar[f_?NumberQ]:=Conjugate[f]
SuperStar[f:_[___]]:=SuperStar/@f

I have defined the following useful star complex-conjugation (common star ex=
ponent notation)
   f_*:=f/.Complex[u_,v_]->Complex[u,-v]
and it works fine. For example BesselJ[2,x+I y]* gives BesselJ[2,x-I y] etc.=
..(x,y defined/undefined).
Also it is listable on number lists
{1+i2, 5+i6}*  gives  {1-i2, 5-i6} .
Unfortunately it does not work on symbols, i.e.
A* gives A even if I have defined A as a complex number by means of Element[=
A, Complexes].
Similarly if I define Element[{A,B,G}, Complexes]
{A,B,G}* gives {A,B,G}  and (A+B+G)*  gives A+B+G.
I'd like to obtain {A*,B*,G*} and A*+B*+G*    ( ! )
Is it possible to fix this deficiency, unpleasant in manipulating general ex=
pressions where is not known if symbols represent real or complex variables=
 ?
Many thanks!
Rob
