poonam, The "other way" of getting code into a package (.m) file that I alluded to in my previous posting in this thread is as follows - it allows us to use all the layout facilities of a notebook during development: - Set out the code in a notebook in the normal fashion, using, if you wish, several input cells, and maybe text cells, section cells ..., and different colors and font styles. - Make the input cells that will make up the package code into initialization cells (select them and use Cell>Cell Properties>Initialization Cell). - select all the cells, input and otherwise, the text of which you wish to put into the package file; then use Edit>Save Selection as> Package Format to save them. All the text that you selected will be saved to a .m file, and the text from each cell that is not an initialization input cell will be commented out (that is placed between (* and *) ) -- Allan
