    Spotted it - it is the last DESC line with text starting with RULES which is a reserved word. How ever it is still in the Description processing routine and it does not check for keywords there, odd.

    In any event you should change that line with DESC RULES etc to after the DESC texts to just RULE Be Civil, i.e.,

    Move that to just past the DESC keywords and just have RULES Be Civil.

    The missing date line is showing that it has exited the DESC routine but cannot
    see why - yet so will have to do a special run that logs each DESC line so I can see may be, what is happening.

    More later.

    Found it - test value one less than it should have been but you are the only one to spot the issue.

    Note that for this echo RULES is set to Be civil.

    So as you have that in the description please change the desc to remove it OR supply a line of RULES with the rest blan which should clear the existing rules.

    Thanks for the report.

    You're welcome! :D

    I see that you are now up to "Produced by Elist v5.5.04" from
    "Produced by Elist v5.5.03"

    I thought that discovery deserved more than a 0.0.01 change! :)

    A v5.6.00 would have been more satisfying to see! :D

    It was only a small cosmetic change so build # chg only.
