This is the kind of answer I was seeking when I requested feedback (for some reason, still not posted) on using workbench. I was deliberating as to whether it is worthwhile or not. I'd be interested on hearing your pros and cons. Thanks, Yitzhak

However, I have such a project, and organise it entirely using batch files to perform tasks such as total recompilation. I tried the WB once, and discovered that all the special Mathematica characters are spelled out - /[Infinity] etc. For many people, this one defect is enough to spoil the WB experience. The front end will let you edit .m files (as well as notebooks), and this interface is superb. You can add text and heading cells, which behave almost exactly as they would in a notebook. You can also run the code, just as you would in a notebook. When you save the result away, any output cells are discarded, and heading/text cells are converted into special comments, that are automatically converted back the next time you perform an edit. I find this environment extremely convenient, and use it almost exclusively. David Bailey http://www.dbaileyconsultancy.co.uk
