Dear fellow mathgroup members:
I am trying to create a Mathematica notebook as a calculator type
application for our project. I put some buttons such as fraction,
square root, integration, differentiation etc. inside the notebook
and an editable cell which works as the work and result window. I also
put in a "Clear" button which I want to clear the contents in the
editable window when I click it. But I can not find a function which
can clear the cell but keep the original notebook open. I tried to
write some button functions which I hope can replace the cell with
blank cell or close the old, edited notebook then open an identical
new notebook. But none of them worked. How can I achieve this goal by
create my own Button Function and where should I keep this function?
I suspect that I can not keep it with my notebook but somewhere with
the system files. Is there a place I can find some sample code for
create button functions? I am using V3.0.1 on Power Mac.
TIA for any help,
X. Jing Li
