Thanks for the quick reply, Alejandro.  Its not necessarily that I want to see the output, although that is partially true - I'm looking at the quality of a specialized random number generator.  Rather imagine that you are working through writing code and keep rerunning the code as you fix it.  Well, everytime you run the code you increment the amount of archived memory.  So if one sits there all day writing, testing, fixing....eventually the limit creeps up and Maple hangs up.  This happened multiple times over the last day.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll play around some more and find something that's not so agravating.

Cheers.

but all of the data is plotted.  For a large matrix (i.e. 1000x1000), the image becomes black.  The plot3d appears to compress the dataset and the image is "easier on the eyes".  Thanks for the help.

Only tried the plot3d keyword suggestion and that works.  Thanks.  Also tried without the unevaluation quotes - the DOESN'T work.  Thanks again.

I cut-and-pasted 

factor(combine(P));

with no luck.

Then I loaded IntegrationTools, did again, then it worked.  Also, if I "with" the tool package, the list showing combine shows up.  Perhaps you have your tool setup to load by default all of the various toolboxes?

Thanks,

Scott

Thanks for the solution.  I saw another thread on this topic, but forgot about having to load the tools.

I have Mac-OSX so the pull down is under Preferences, but the suggestion works fine.  Thanks.

Sequence of events:

Type first line using 2D input with keyboard shortcuts, Upon conversion to 1D , the conversion shows up correct (i.e. literal) - d is a literal subscript; i is an index.

Next cut and paste the 2D result into next line, then convert to 1D.  Now d shows up as an index.  Are you able to explain why a cut and paste changes the literal subscript to an index?
