OK, that would be a little faster than using emacs as I did. I suggest that it might be useful as an option to download input cells (perhaps with text cells prefixed by comment symbols). In case anyone wonders why I want to do that, it's because I am using a free SMC account and some of the computations I want to do are time-consuming -- and I have plenty of powerful computers which run Sage. > > 2.

(1) There's a help button near the top right of the screen next to my name and "About", and with an icon looking like a doctor's bag (?). When I right click on that to open in a new tab I just get a copy of the same tab I was on. If I just click on it I get a dialogue box offering to post a support question. (2) There's a Help button in the sagews screen next to Mode and under the green Run button. That does opo up a little menu of options. The first one "General Help" has the effect I said, to insert "help()" into the worksheet. The next one also inserts some command into the worksheet. I was expecting to *see* some help! > 4.
