To be explicit, with the default configuration, if you define a function foo in notebook A, and execute the definition, you can then run code from notebook B that uses foo. It is also possible for individual notebooks to use their own context (in 6.0) but I am talking about the default case. This may be totally obvious to you, but I have encountered people who do not realise this, and the modern form of documentation does not help IMHO. David Bailey http://www.dbaileyconsultancy.co.uk
