Hello, I am still relatively new to Mathematica so please take this into account in reacting to this perhaps simple question. Namely, suppose I have written some code in a given notebook, saved it, and then exited in and closed Matheamtica.Later I restart Mathematica and open the same notebook. Am I supposed to take some particular step before continuing my work? To be concrete, suppose I have a Do loop with some parameter p that previously I had set at p = 10 and now (in restarting) I want to return to the Do loop and replace the 10 with another number, and then evaluate the cell, e.g., to display a bar chart for a list determined by the new value. My experience, as limited as it is, is that this doesn't work unless I go up to the top of that notebook and re-evaluate all the cells leading up to the Do loop. Yet, it is doubtful that this is what experienced Mathematica users do -- so what steps should one take in order to have total continuity from day 1 to day 2, say, in developing and evaluating code in a given notebook? Thanks very much for any help. Tom
