Thanks Davide, On another issue -- problemPreserveAnswers.pl keeps $ from being erased in student sticky answers. Does using EV3P fix this problem directly in PGbasicmacros.pl? I don't have a test case to work on to see if this issue is fixed in rel-2-4-patches. If it's not already fixed then one will still have to use problemPreserveAnswers.pl for this release.
