Sci. Lines: 13 in the function news-save-item-in-file I am quite sure that you will want to replace the last line: (write-file file)) to (append-to-file (dot-min)(dot-max) file)) If it is not obvious the former over-writes, the latter appends (as the help message promises...ach, lost my recipes file, i'm gonna starve!) This is in 16.56.25, maybe it is fixed in 16.60 but it's easy to check and/or fix. -Barry Shein, Boston University
