Group initiative

Hi - is there any way of selecting a group of monsters and getting initiative rolls for each of them (into the Tracker too) - other than doing it on an individual basis, that is?

There is an API script called GroupInitiative. It is in the One-Click API list. As a Pro subscriber you can install API scripts into games you create.

There's a wiki page to help you with the configuration , depending on the sheet you use.
Hi Rabulias - I suspected that some kind soul might have developed such a useful tool - I'll look for it immediately...  Keith - I use the Roll20 5E sheet. So, based on the Wiki, I instantiate at the start of the session it with  !group-init --set-roller  Individual-Roll   then, in game, select my tokens and invoke it with  ! group-init  --add-group --bare initiative_bonus .  Is that right?

No, just issue both of those commands to configure the script to work with your sheet. Then whenever you need to roll initiative, just select the tokens and use: !group-init If you run into issues, just enter: !group-init --del-group 1 a few times to clear out anything you may have inadvertently set up and start from the beginning. Once you have it set up and working, you should not need to mess with the config instructions again.
