	Howdy.  I am having some trouble using the pattern-matching 
	facility in macsyma.  Any hints on what I am doing wrong?
	The sequence

		matchdeclare(nn,true);
		defrule(pat,cos(nn*t),-sin(nn*t)/nn);
		applyb1(cos(a*t),pat);

	gives the correct answer,

                      -sin(a*t)/a.

	However, if I try

		matchdeclare(nn,true);
		defrule(pat1,%e^(nn*t),%e^(nn*t)/nn);

	then macsyma echoes the correct rule,

                                    nn t
                         nn t     %e
		pat1 : %e     -> -------
                                   nn
	but when I apply it with

                       	applyb1(%e^(t),pat1);

	I get garbage:

	                	t   t
                               t  %e.

	I get the same answer if I express everything in terms of the exp
	function.  Any reason that this should happen? Incidentally, I am 
	running macsyma 304 on a dec 2065.
