1. I don't get how to use AddRow. I think I remember that there was a
one-key way to add a row or column.

2. How do I change the color of comments?

3. How can I make Det[mfg] appear in expanded form like Det[mff] does?

mff = Array[Subscript[a, ##] &, {3, 3}];
mfg = MatrixForm[mff];
Det[mff]
Det[mfg]

I haven't used Mathematica for several years and am using it again.
Thanks for any tips.

1. Control+Return adds a row (or Menu: Insert / Table/Matrix / Add Row),
Control +comma (or Menu: Insert / Table/Matrix / Add Column) adds a column

2. Menu : Mathematica / Preferences ... / Appearance / Syntax Coloring / Other / Comments

3.

mff = Array[Subscript[a, ##] &, {3, 3}];

(mfg = mff) // MatrixForm

Det[mff] == Det[mfg]

True
