System name:		podge
Type and version:	KN01 7.4G
Display type:		PMAX-MFB

What were you trying to do?

	Type in an expression.

What's wrong:

	Maple misaligns the output:

> eq1 := sqrt(1 - sin(theta)^2/(1 + a^2 + 2 * a * cos(theta)))/ (1 + a^2 + 2 * a * cos(theta));
>                            /                    2      \1/2
                           |          sin(theta)       |
                           |1 - -----------------------|
                           |         2                 |
                           \    1 + a  + 2 a cos(theta)/
                    eq1 := --------------------------------
                                     2
                                1 + a  + 2 a cos(theta)


What should have happened:

	Note that the first line is offset to the right by a space.  If
I type "eq1;" again, it prints it properly.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

	Amateur Nitpicker's Guide, Chapter 1, Section 4.2.1
