	I found that setting the refrigerator to the "defrost" setting
	keeps the temp up to around 55 degrees F; this however may be
	a function of the condition of the 'frig. . . .  Note I am using
	a *really* old refrigerator which has only one door, which I
	guess explains the interaction between the defrost setting and
	the temp of the rest of the storage area.
