[Tutor] repeated times

[Anna Martelli Ravenscroft]

I'm not sure if this is what youre asking but if you want to collect  
all of the output into a file without overwriting, open the output  
file with " a" instead of "w" and the output will. be appended. Iwould  
suggest in that case that you include info about the user input so you  
can distinguish the output . Hth
