I know the new version 6 help has come in for criticism here on
mathgroup, but one place where I think it really shines is in the notes
and examples for a particular function. If you take a look at the first
Application example for ProgressIndicator you will find:
In[1]:= ProgressIndicator[Dynamic[n], {100, 140}]
Out[1]= \!\(\*
ProgressIndicatorBox[Dynamic[$CellContext`n], {100, 140}]\)
In[2]:= Table[(n = k; FactorInteger[2^k - 1]), {k, 100, 140}];
The key is to have two cells, the first one should display the progress
indicator, and the second cell changes the value of the Dynamic
variable. Is this what you did, and it didn't work?
