Maybe arrays. From the Maple help under display/plots: A := array(1 .. 2); A[1] := plot(sin(x), x = -Pi .. Pi, axes = framed); A[2] := plot(cos(x), x = -Pi .. Pi, axes = boxed, style = point); display(A) That displays two plots side by side, without one overwriting the other.

I understand... Thanks. sprintf("value: %2.14lf", myMatrix[1,1])        produces-> "value: 23.30000000000000" sprintf("value: %2.15lf", myMatrix[1,1])        produces-> "value: 23.300000000000001" myMatrix[1,1]:=2333.30 sprintf("value: %2.15lf", myMatrix[1,1])        produces-> "value: 2333.300000000000180" I now see the expected 8-byte resolution displayed. This is something I hadn't given thought to for a while.

I have Visual Studio 2005 along with the .NET Framework 2.0 installed on the same PC with Maple 10 and 11 with no problems at all.

Jacques - It's really neat to discover these new things. It's going to take me quite a while to learn even a fraction of what Maple is capable of. I enjoy learning new things, and with Maple the learning fun. Thanks for responding to my message.

-- my original idea got lost in the smoke, so I deleted what I actually put up here - sorry. Below is what was intended - I guess it would be an unusual way to go about it though. > if df-abs(df) = 0 then `pos` else `neg` end if;

Alex - I can certainly understand your frustration with being stuck in document mode when you may prefer worksheet mode. Maybe there's a configuration problem with yours that doesn't allow you to choose worksheet mode. My version of Maple 10 allows me to choose either mode. I really like both modes and I think there is a good use for each. Something like worksheet mode is a whole lot easier from a software development point of view while something like document mode is kinda like a "treat" for the user but will likely have certain problems just because new things are constantly being added. Document mode will probably always require more "computer savvy" and reading of the documentation to understand how everything in document mode works. I recall when I began my work as a programmer. I did most everything in assembly code with a little bit of C. I could write all the code either in DOS Edit when writing for Microsoft and the VI Editor when in Unix. Now I'm confronted with a huge GUI style interface with piles upon piles of documentation as part of the C# and new VisualBasic in Microsoft's latest Visual Studio developer's environment. I'll tell you right now, life sure was much simpler back in the day of the simple editors. However, as with most everything, I'm required to move forward which requires a lot more reading and even more "computer savvy" just to keep producing the latest kind of software. I think the developers of Maple really appreciate patience, understanding, and constructive feedback, as they work to constantly improve the document mode interface.
