matlab, maple notation problem

[hoerl]

hello

i have a very special probelm
with matlab R13 and maple9.5 on a linux debian box

i could not type the '^' symbol within those progs (just in there),
which is of course very nasty -- in maple '**' does the same as the hat symbol but what todo in matlab ?

does anybody had the same problem and knows a solution for it ?

thx in advance

PS: please apologize my rude english (non-native)

Try this: '\^'

I got a warning telling me that ^ was the character used for tex, so I just added the backslash and it worked fine.

I don't have that problem in Maple but in Matlab, typing a single '^' does not work either. However typeing two produces one. Have you tried that?

seems to be a java problem

Yeah, I'm using R14 on linux, but i'm also using the blackdown java vm, not sun's. Maybe thats why I don't have this issue.
