Jon:
Here is a link to an extensive description of answers to your question:
http://mc6help.tripod.com/importing_recipes.htm
I'm not sure if the newest versions of MC may be different; also what
version you are using.
To import multiple recipes, I have used a utility called MC-Tagit for
years. The author's site gave detailed instructions on setting up
multiple recipes in a text file with tags. The author's site appears to
be unavailable now, so my guess is that newer versions of MC made its
use unnecessary.
