How to get frequent news downloads (more frequent than 1x day)
I would like to set Chicago Breaking News to download and send news to my kindle several times a day. How would one do that? Thanks, Debra

Use the Fetch News| Add a custom news source | Customize builtin to make several copies of the recipe, changing the title of each in the recipe, then set them to download at different times.
Or....
Use the command line tools.

Cool. Thanks. I will let you know if it works for me (I'm sure your instructions are correct, the problem is in the operator).

Unfortunately, it isn't working for me
I try to customize builtin, picking Chicago Breaking News. I change the name to Unknown News1. But it doesn't have the recipe from Chicago Breaking News. I get an option to replace Chicago Breaking News, but I say no. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

1) Select Chicago Breaking News in the custom recipes at this point. The recipe will appear on the right. Once you have done this, proceed to step 2.

I change the name to Unknown News1.
2) To change the name of this recipe, change the line that reads "title =" on the right.
3) Now click Add/update Recipe button.

This means you haven't changed the title. It's trying to save it on top of the original.

@Sydney's Mom I've circled (see attached) the area in the recipe Starson17 is referring to. Just change the name between the single quotes.

Good Luck.

Oh, I have to do it in the recipe itself, not the GUI! No wonder. Thanks, and K for you both!!!!
