Derive 6.10 handles this automatically. Here is the stepwise
simplification:

x*EXP(-1/2*x)/(2*SINH(1/2*x))*((EXP(x)-1)/x)

" SINH(z) -> #e^z/2-#e^(-z)/2 "

x*#e^(-x/2)*(#e^x-1)/(2*x*(#e^(x/2)/2-#e^(-x/2)/2))

" e^(z)*#e^(w) -> #e^(z+w) "

(x*#e^(x/2)-x*#e^(-x/2))/(2*x*(#e^(x/2)/2-#e^(-x/2)/2))

" one final step "
