Hi;
Thanks for your package. But you really should not have used UpperCase
first letter for names of your functions or variables, since this can
cause conflict with Mathematica's own names, as your example shows.
It is well known that Mathematica uses UpperCase for all its system functions
and symbols. Any one writing a package, even though the package has its own
context, should really consider using only lowerCase starting letter in
the name.
