I'm giving the new symbolic stuff a bit of a work-out today.  I've come across 
two issues.

1)  I'm outputing my results to a latex file and viewing them that way and 
also using the view command.  The conversion to latex puts a "\cdot" in for 
multiplication.  I don't mind this so much, but it makes the output of a 
larger width which can be annoying.  It also messes up my visual grouping of 
things since we always see things with implicit multiplication.  Is there a 
way a to drop the "\cdot"?  I looked through the source code and found many 
instances of "\cdot" and I wasn't too thrilled at the idea of figuring out 
which was the correct one.

2)  I'm manipulating rather large (10-20 terms numerator and denominator) 
rational functions with the new symbolic support.  When I'm using simplify 
and expand on these things, I'm sometimes getting an output of something 
like "sage40".  I've tried small examples which seem similar to what I'm 
doing with the big expressions, but I'm unable to reproduce it in a smaller 
setting.  Any ideas about what might be going on (or how to find out)?

Thanks
Joel
