I will do this. It's still a bit unclear what is going on: Since I did not import preferences I did expect to loose my favorites but somehow they are back and working. (My selection of palettes in Maple 2025 was not restored.) 

@dharr 

Something in the 2025 preference caused the problem.

The solution to fix the problem can be found here.

Without your comment I would not have tried to install without importing preferences.

Thank you

I allways forget this hidden folder. After renaming maple.ini the dialouge is back and even better ... the display is back to normal!!!

Excellent. Thank you!

@Carl Love 

Now I see it on my big screen.

@acer 
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

@acer No, it does not.

@Anthrazit 

I use two screens with laptops (large 4K and the internal) but never at the same time. This works fine now with newest Windows and Maple releases.

@Ronan 

I was informed that this version has been discontinued. Great decision from product management considering that the new version is not working.

@nm After system restart it looks like that

@Anthrazit 

From to to bottom: Maple 2025, Word, Maple 2026.

I do not see a difference

Can you give a link to the maple document? I will see if it renders as shown in you screen shot.

@awass 

IMO, the Description part of a help page is only helpfull if a reader is familar with Maple terms and definitions. This not the case for a beginner. I remember when I switched from MMA to Maple that the examples (that only Maple provided at that time) made a huge difference in understanding the commands.

The more examples the better, IMO.

I some cases the help system provides example worksheets that are structured differently from normal help pages. Explanations of parameters and examples are treated in close proximity which make understanding easier.

The programming guide is structured similarily. For the subject of discussion I see all the MUSTs how to descirbe a procedure implicitly given in chapter 6.5. 

Even if this explanation matches your expectations it also takes time to find it.
A beginner might not be aware of this guide. Since the proc statement is so important, a link in the proc help page to ProgrammingGuide,Chapter06 would be helpfull.

 

I do not think that this was done on purpose.

Some things get forgotten. Nobody is perfect.

I am not a big fan of AI because of all the slop but in this instance the response to "in maple proc statement: syntax to make a description" was useful

name := proc(parameter_list)
    description "your brief description here";
    local ...;
    global ...;
    # procedure body
end proc:

I also think that it would not harm to update the documentation.
