Hi Peter,

Good ideas for some useful examples! (though I can't actually find  
them in the cookbook...)

Anyway I hope you don't mind but while I was looking, I added another  
example for SeqIO input/output that uses the new format method:

http://biopython.org/wiki/SeqIO

I tend to prefer this type of method to SeqIO.write, though I don't  
think it appears anywhere in the documentation

Regards,
jared
