Davis - Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Lines: 16 I've been having problems with Mathematica, op. sys. 0.9. First, and most importantly, is there any way to stop a Mathematica calculation once it has started?? I seem too put myself into infinite loops all the time and have to logout to stop them. The suggested keystrokes, Control-C and Control-., don't seem to work. Also, I've been using WriteNow to print my Mathematica Plots. I just Cut them from Mathematica and Paste them in WriteNow. Seems to work OK, but I get malformed Postscript errors frequently and not quite as frequently the printer hangs (Unable to connect to npd.) Is there a way to free up the printer without a full reboot?? Also, any reasons for the malformed Postscript errors??? I hope these questions haven't been answered before. Thanks a lot.....
