It could save me some unpredictable amount of experimenting with the (moderately complicated) Notebook commands if someone could just lay out a template structure that would show me what commands to put in a primary notebook "A" so as to: * Create a new named notebook "B" and open it for writing * Within a Do loop or other iterative structure in A, repeatedly create graphics (Plots or DisplayTogethers) which are not displayed in A but are written to B and displayed there. (No need to retain any memory of the individual graphics in A, if that helps with memory conservation.) * Save the notebook B to my HD, maybe each time a new graphic is added within the iteration (for safety against crashes or freezes), and also at the end of the iteration. * After exiting the iterative structure and still under program control in A, Select and Export the complete string of graphics in B as a QuickTime movie. * After existing the iterative structure, perhaps also Select and Animate all the graphics in B (preferably but not necessarily returning control to A when this animation is terminated). I know about setting directories and assembling file names from strings. This is on a Mac, OS 9, Mathematica 4.2.
