I was working on creating an asl file in QDK 3. and I saved it and closed it. When I opened it, everything was gone!!! I opened it in textpad and everything was there. What is missing in the file that QDK3 is not seeing its guts?

define object <North door>
look msg <Always has to be a back door out, so those wayward kids can sneak off during Sacrament meetings and go buy candy.>
examine msg <Always has to be a back door out, so those wayward kids can sneak off during Sacrament meetings and go buy candy.> |nodefine
prefix <the>
displaytype <material>
article <it>
gender <it>
end define
Actually it wasn't what was missing, it was what was added. Notice the |nodefine is in a weird place. I took those out and everything appeared again...

Being supreme Creator of everything Quest related, I hate to ask, but what was the "|nodefine" for?

That's what I mean. I didn't put the "|nodefine" there! :)
I'm also still having problems with QDK leaving out a "}" when I have multiple nested conditionals. I usually have to go back and add it through text pad.

If you can give me a "walkthrough" of exact steps to get QDK to not put enough braces in, please send it to me, so I can fix it.
