As it stands now, on my Prime, I define a function through the "Define" key. It works as long as I don't press "on-symb." After that, poof! All definitions are gone.

I did test this repeatedly (defines gone) and now, the defines stay. What happened? Did you fix this telepathically?

What changed is that that you were not toggling power before, and now you are.

As Tim implied, Defines (and most other changes made during your current session) are saved when you turn the power off and back on. On+Symb restores the most recently saved session. That's why pressing On+Symb destroys all the Defines you made IF you haven't toggled power, but does NOT destroy them if you toggle power first.

Suggestion: Always save a "virtual backup" of your machine by toggling power off and back on before doing anything dangerous, because you can restore that "virtual backup" simply by pressing On+Symb.
