DrBob, A closed cell is not quite the same thing as a closed group. To open or close a cell, select the cell bracket and use the menu item Cell\Cell Properties\Cell Open and toggle it. You can also use Alt-c r c. It certainly makes for a nicer looking notebook if graphics input cells, and other calculations whose methods are a side issue are closed. It is too bad that one can't open or close a SINGLE cell by double clicking the bracket. Of course, closed cells can be evaluated even while they are closed. It would be nice if one could actually add some text that did show instead of the contents of the cell. Adding a cell tag doesn't work because that is also closed with the cell. So you will often have to remind your reader to evaluate the closed cell. For the evaluation limits notation, I would first write a routine. EvalLimits[top_, bottom_, var_:x][expr_] := (expr /. var -> top) - (expr /. var -> bottom) Then you could write Integrate[a*x^2, x] %//EvalLimits[5, 3] (a*x^3)/3 (98*a)/3 I brought in the Notation package and was able, without too many tries, to define a notation using a \[VerticalLine] from the CompleteCharacters\TextualForms palette. It worked, but is a little too difficult to show in an email.
