Evaluation of any evaluatable cell in such a group would automatically trigger the evaluation of the other evaluatable cells. This attribute does not survive translation into V3.0 code, and Wolfram says that the feature is no longer supported. :-[ Anyone else use this? Any bright ideas how to emulate it?" --- I've just spent the last few hours rifling through "the book" V3 finding no means of performing the Evaluation Group mechanism, and indeed found it mentioned explicitly in my V2.2 front-end docs. The only reason I keep a copy of clunky old MathCAD3.1 (for Mac) around is that it provides this "spreadsheet-like" response capability, which is quite useful when one needs to play what-if parametric variations on sizeable multi-cell models. So I join David M.F. Chapman and ask again: any way to emulate such useful behavior in Mathematica V3? Does anyone at WRI wish to answer why this feature remains missing in V3.X?
