Dear Mathematica users Can someone give me an example of a command sequence or functions which Opens another notebook and perform the evaluation of one or more cells in that notebook. To be more specific: I have the notebook abc.nb where I do some calculations using predefined variables, lists and functions which I dont want to define in abc.nb. I have a Notebook called definitions.nb where I keep my definitions of variables, list and functions. When I start to work with my calculations in abc.nb, I want to evaluate one cell in abc.nb (the first cell for example) which 1. Opens definitions.nb , 2. Evaluate the cells in definitions.nb 3. Close definitions.nb after the evaluation in step 2 I should say that the functions in definitions.nb are not so general that I want to implement them as packages. I also know that I can use one or two evenings reading the help menu but I try this way first as a possible time-saver. I work on Window 2000 machine with Mathematica 4.1.
