I've made a large output cell with "Expand[(1+x)^100] and entered "a+17 -mc^2" and every keystroke had an immediate effect. This is Win7 HomePremium Sp1 64 Bit and Mathematica from February 2011 (8.0.1) I tried it with Expand[(1+x)^1000] and got the same effect. > Even if you distribute your functions to separate cells, functional > programming is about feeding the result of a step directly to the > next, meaning that you might end up with a very complex program that > happens to take one single (though enormous) cell.
