  • Issue with elist program FIXED

    From Vincent Coen@2:250/1 to All on Monday, December 27, 2021 18:40:53
    Hello All!

    In looking at another issue for areas FUTURE4FIDO, CHAT and possibly others from the same moderator I have fixed the problem where a blank line is between lines with text for Descriptions so you could have :

    DESC ANY OLD TEXT
    DESC
    DESC More text etc

    This will save you have to use a full stop character on the first position of line to force a blank (ish) line between lines.

    Remember if you have a very simple rule for a echo such as "Be Civil" you can add the keyword RULEs such as :

    RULE Be Civil


    Hope it all helps and if you spot any other errors or bugs etc., please let me know as I can't fix 'em if I do not know about any.

    It is happening in the INTERNET submission too, but I don't use
    any fancy spacing tricks in that one.

    Excellent. Thx.

    Looking at your 27th submission it looks good from here !
