I use Mathematica for data processing on some large data sets. Often this involves using a "For" loop, which may have many steps. I know it preferable to use "map" type functions, but this is not always practical. For example processing time-dependent data where the result of element n determines how element n+1 will be processed. I often look back at early in the loop to see how I have defined variables. Thanks for the suggestions on technique. I should probably also make a practice of defining more sub-routines, which can be called with a single command and that would make it easier to navigate. I don't think having multiple windows is a major issue, but I would find it convenient.
