Hello Mathgroup,
I am doing a little notebook programming and am stuck on something:

Note that these two commands differ in their behavior:

CellPrint[
 ExpressionCell[
  Defer[
   Table[x, {x, 0, 10, 1}]
   ],
  "Input"]
 ]

CellPrint[
 ExpressionCell[
  Defer[
   Manipulate[x, {x, 0, 10, 1}]
   ],
  "Input"]
 ]

The front end seems to ignore the Defer request when a command would 
have dynamic output.  Is there any way to get the same behavior (i.e., 
that for Table) as for Manipulate?

Thanks, Craig
