I think the OP wanted to open and close cells, not cell groups. This
functionality is still there, but since for version 6 the menues have
been changed, the key sequences did, too:
Alt-c p o
or also (with holding the Alt-Key pressed all the time):
Alt-c Alt-p Alt-o
do what he intended to do (at least on windows, which I supspect is what
he asked for). Note that when using the alt key sequences the possible
next letters are underlined in the menu, something also very
conventional for GUIs. You can access every menu entry that way.
