How are protected variables unprotected to use in computations

How do you unprotect variables so that they can be used in computations. I used the Unprotect[ ] command and I get variable results in the application; see the attached nb.

However, you will note that what appears to be the symbol eta in your notebook is actually not symbol: it is a hyperlink to the documentation for eta. This is why you are getting your various error messages. Enter an eta either by typing

\[Eta]

or by typing any of the keyboard combinations described here:

Thanks David,

I did as you suggested and the Greek symbol appeared. I used it to copy and paste where the symbol was needed and it worked great.

Thanks
