Hi All,

Rule file submissions using the RULETEXT keyword has been implemented.

This will work as a Mod Rul submission OR simply append your rules to a Mod Upd 
submission, starting with the RULETEXT keyword between all other keywords and 
the Rule Text itself.

The Rule file name (x-x.RUL) is generated from the TAG value (1st 8 characters 
or less) followed by ".RUL" and is automatically stored in the RULEs field.

=== Example ===

TAG MYECHO
TITLe This is MY Echo lol
... (any/all other keywords needed)
RULETEXT

This is my text area for my Rules file. I can do ANYTHING I want here, it is 
free form, line by line,
                so I can indent this line
and add draw using the next line
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  a n d  s o  f o r t h :)

-+- this marks the END of the text (optional), 3 dashes ...

=== End of Example ===


Existing options using the RULE keyword (text entered like DESC data) will 
still function as before.


I would also point out that now, to clear any field, simply include the keyword 
(always starting in column 1!) without any data after it. This also means that 
"blank lines" within a DESC and/or RULE block will NOT work! This
will clear 
the field and only data AFTER the blank DESC/RULE will be retained.

i.e. RULE line 1
     RULE
     RULE line 3

Note that line 2 above clears the RULE field and starts over with line 3


.- Keep the faith, --------------------------------------------------.
