  • SelectionEvaluateCreateCell[ notebook , sel ] sets the current selection after the evaluation to be as specified by sel.
  • The first argument of SelectionEvaluateCreateCell is a NotebookObject.
  • Possible settings for sel are as in NotebookWrite.
  • The default for sel is After.
  • SelectionEvaluateCreateCell[ notebook , All] sets the current selection to be the cell corresponding the result from the evaluation.
