System name:		milanese
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.7G (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		rlogin from SUN Sparc 2

What were you trying to do?
	
y:=simplify(1/2*(int(int(Dirac(eta)*f(tau),eta=x-(t-tau)..x+(t-tau)),tau=0..t)));
aa:=(diff(y,t$2)-diff(y,x$2));
What's wrong:
	
It gives aa:=0.


What should have happened:
	


It should have given aa=Dirac(x)*f(t).
If one puts g(eta,tau) instead of Dirac(eta)*f(tau) then the answer is the correct one  aa:=g(x,t).

That is, Maple doesn't handle Dirac function properly.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
