Htick 1.4 says:
htick hatch   [replace []] [desc
[] []]

Here  is a short description and it is used to produce Desc
parameter in a .tic,  is a long description and it is used to
produce LDesc parameter in a .tic. These two options can be used
simultaneously.  can be a string in quotes, it can also be
{at}{at}DIZ, which is the first line of the description in file_id.diz. On the
other hand, {at}DIZ marks all the lines of the description in file_id.diz and
that is why one should use it for  only and not for
.

That said I suspect that the above command line description is not quite
correct and it should be

htick hatch   [replace []] [desc
 []]

That means that if you place only one description, it will be put to Desc
parameter in your .tic and not in LDesc. But I am too lazy to check it.
