Those with web access can view recipes at:

http://www.cdkitchen.com/rfr/data/917365575.html
http://ftp.neosoft.com/recipes/appetizers/crab-rangoon07.html
http://www.mega-zine.com/kitchen/appetizers/recipe024.html
http://www.neosoft.com/recipes/appetizers/

The last site appears to have at least eight or nine different recipes.
Note that there are more recipes on the Web than are at the URL's listed
above, for those that require them.

This seems pretty much a standard formula with very minor variations
among the different recipes. All seem to be a pasta envelope filled with
a seasoned mixture of crab and cream cheese, almost always deep-fried.
Purportedly-low-fat versions are baked, are filled with low-fat
neufchatel cheese, and probably taste like cardboard.  My own personal
experience has been that they're folded very simply, usually in half
diagonally, and sealed with water or egg, but your mileage may vary. Um,
the official Trader Vic's recipe (available, like several others, on
various web sites, for those who steadfastly and pointedly refuse to
discuss this topic without a recipe and form SC-23000 filled out in
triplicate carbon copy stamped by the commisar, even after being told
more than once that several recipes are pretty much a mouse-click away)
uses A-1 steak sauce instead of Worcestershire. Maybe someone would like
to debate on the authenticity of its use in this dish? The basic format
would be, "Which is more accurate, Worcestershire or A-1, and if you use
HP Sauce instead, is it still Crab Rangoon or something else?" No? Just
checking...
