Hmm, yeah, I wondered why describe("tellsimpafer") did not give me any
info :)

Anyway, spelling it correctly does not seem to help though.  From the
online help, it sounds like the right thing to do, but it does not seem
to apply the rule...  BTW, how does one get rid of a rule, once it has
been made?

What I get now, is still more or less the same:

tellsimpafter(del(p),0);
(D336) 						   [DELRULE1, FALSE]
(C337) f:diff((u*v)^(p-1));
...
(C340) string(f);
(D340)(p-1)*(u*v)^(p-1)*DEL(v)/v+(p-1)*(u*v)^(p-1)*DEL(u)/u+
	(u*v)^(p-1)*LOG(u*v)*DEL(p)
