In my experience, Finale will beam groups of grace notes correctly,
if you follow this procedure:
Enter the multiple grace notes in order, use the arrow key to put the
cursor over the last grace note, press the semicolon key, move
backwards to the preceding grace note, again press semicolon, repeat
the procedure until all grace notes have been converted from ordinary
notes. When I follow this sequence, grace notes appear beamed
together without further fussing. Doing things in another order
results in separate flagged notes and necessitates using the / key to
connect beams.

Yes, you're correct. The "/" key is very handy when creating groups of
grace notes. This may seem uninteresting, but it's pretty useful if
your
score is a little not typical and you need a lot of notes that don't
participate in the rhythmic structure.
