Thanks for advice about getting graphic output from Mathematica when running in batch mode (in batch mode the output is stored in a text file). I have received 3 different ways of achieving what I needed by supressing the graphic output in the text file and exporting it to a PostScript file instead. All the suggestions work fine. I believe the answers have been posted to the list, so I won't repost them. If someone needs them, then I will e-mail them to him/her personally. A related question. In the course of looking for a solution to my problem I learned that there is a way to store all the output of a batch mode Mathematica process into a Notebook (instead of a text file). This would be very convenient since you would have the graphic and numerical results in the same file, plus you could easily edit the graph directly by opening the Notebook (I don't know how to edit a PostScript file) Does anybody know how to do this? I know it is explained in the 3rd edition of Programming in Mathematica and requires using the package ProgrammingInMathematica `Notebook, which comes installed with most Mathematica versions. Now the book is not in our library and the Help in Mathematica doesn't explain the possibilities of that package. Thanks, Otto.
