Bob,

In my Version 4.1 I see no difference in the commands.

Table[ Plot[ Sin[n x], {x, 0, Pi}], {n, 1, 5}]

and

Table[ Show[Graphics[Line[{{0, 0}, {5, n}}]],
    PlotRange -> {{0, 6}, {0, 6}}], {n, 1, 5}]

They both have the graphics output cells grouped in the middle and separate
from the Input cell.

Why is it that when I type, say,
  Table[ Plot[ Sin[n x],{x,0,Pi}], {n, 1,5}]
my output is marked in the righthand column with 3 cell ``markers,"
with
the middle marker encompassing the output (and *only* the output).
However, when I try something like
  Table[Show[Graphics[ etc., etc]], {n, 1,5}]
the middle cell marker on the righthand side of the notebook also
includes the input command?

The reason that this is important for me is that I am doing an
animation; and after the animation I would like to delete all the
graphic images; but when I use Show[Graphics[ this would mean deleting
the input command as well.

Could someone explain this to me and also make a suggestion so how I
could use Show[Graphics[ ] and have the middle cell marker *only*
encompass the output.
