Re: MIA, Ask an Expert: procedure using recursion

["Jeff Knope" <jknope@xxxxxxxx>]

Regarding the previous posting with an example of recursion, twice the mail 
program broke a comment in two, leaving a portion of it on the following 
line, possibly creating some confusion.

Both "element of :them" and "element of the preceding recursion." belong to 
the comment, not the procedure.
