Some of the material described below is available only on version 3.0. The ShowAnimation[] command is intended for users who are working with the Unix shell interface to the kernel and are using the Motif graphics . It doesn't have any value for a user who is working with the notebook front end. The way to animate graphics in a notebook is to select the cells which are to appear in the animation and then click on the front end menu command sequence: Cell -> Animate Selected Graphics It is possible to use notebook manipulation commands to manipulate notebook selection to include the desired graphics cells (SelectionMove[] or NotebookLocate[]) and then initiate the animation (SelectionAnimate[]). -- P.J.
