Well what you are doing is exactly how I implemented my code, and I got it to work.

my code is:

 (set! allGames (append (list (game gameNumber initialLower initialUpper finalLower finalUpper answer numberOfGuesses)) allGames))

(define (history) (display (reverse allGames)))

Here, allGames is the variable that started out with an empty list value. It works the same way you explained it, in that I append

the game object with the allGames list. So yeah looks pretty similar to yours imo.

The only reason that I could think of for why your history function is returning only the most recently added list, is that you are calling (display) on newList (which holds the game object) instead of gamesList (which holds the running list of all games added so far)??

if you want me to look at your code and help you out you can PM me, with your email or some link to a google doc i don't mind reviewing it.

uh actually hm i guess there is no "PM" functionality on this forums. darn.

just instant message me on Skype if you want.

my Skype ID is "darkserith".

I have it the same way as the second post; instead of having two lists in separate places, you can just just append the list containing the game structure (where list (game gamenum.....and so on)) to the empty list. 

Then when you start another game, you dont have to keep setting the game structure to a list, since you create one at the end and append it immediately.

I know how display works.  I'm not sure how to use my custom write procedure to iterate through and display my list of games.

Any help would be appreciated!

if you added the games to the list (that keeps a list of all the games played), then calling display on that list would automatically use the custom-write procedure to achieve desired output. just make sure the custom write procedure works though. 

Ok so my problem is if I have gameList of size 2 when I call the (history) function displays the last game entered twice.  If i have 3 items it will display the last game 3 times and so on...
