Hi, Hans—

The problem is the line \startbibitem[A, B, and C]\stopbibitem. I can
either keep it and any others like  \cite[A], \cite[B] or \cite[A]\cite[B]
are messed up or I can comment it out and these same citations work.
\startbibitem[A{,} B{,}and C]\stopbibitem (as you suggested) does allow the
other citations to work. But, then, neither \cite[A, B, and C] nor the
\cite[A{,} B{,} and C] works.

Alan
