I was working with an initial 5.2 .nb notebook that had been saved as an AutoSavePackage. There were (in 5.2) some cells that were not initialization cells. These were Text comment cells and some old routine code that I did not want to immediately discard. In 6.0 ALL cells in the notebook became initialization cells and ALL cells were incorporated into the .m file. Furthermore there is no way, that I have discovered yet, to turn any Input cell into a NON-initialization cell. Despite whether there is or is not a check mark on the menu Initialization Cell item, and despite whether or not the cell is marked as an Initialization Cell in the Option Inspector, it still contains the vertical tick mark in the notebook and it still becomes incorporated, actively, into the .m file. Furthermore, I don't want all the Text cell comments incorporated into the distributed .m file. And the old, temporarily kept, Input cells cause harm when they are incorporated into the .m package file. So I either have to remove them completely, or I have to comment them out with (* *). I much prefer the 5.2 behavior here and believe this is a bug. -- David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/ "Bill Rowe" <readnewsciv at sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:f43ef3$qi$1 at smc.vnet.net... > On 6/4/07 at 3:46 AM, djmpark at comcast.net (David Park) wrote: > > > However, it does seem that what gets saved in the .m file has > changed in version 6 as you describe. > > But I don't see why you see this as a problem.
