Hello,
Firstly, thanks to Paul Hinton of WRI for his help with my last
question.
Secondly, I have been attempting to use the notebook manipulation
functions to get some output written into a notebook that is created by
the kernel. The idea is then to save or print the new notebook. By
following section 2.10.3 of the on-line help, I have been able to write
data into the new notebook and perform evaluation on the data. However,
on saving or printing the new notebook the output cells are never
present.
Clearly, I am missing something. What am I doing wrong? Some code is
appended.
Thanks,
Roger Mason.
Mathematica 4.0, Linux RH7.0.
nb = NotebookCreate[];
(*nb = SelectedNotebook[];*)
NotebookWrite[nb, "10!", All];
SelectionEvaluateCreateCell[nb, All];
NotebookApply[nb, "\[SelectionPlaceholder]/2", All ];
SelectionEvaluateCreateCell[nb, Before];
NotebookSave[nb, "notebook.nb"];
(*NotebookPrint[nb, "/home/rmason/test.ps",
      PrintingStyleEnvironment -> "Printout"];*)
NotebookClose[nb];
