Yes, that's the problem.  I can put in my own description in the TIC file
just fine but I want to use the file_id.diz description instead.

I've tried that.

But it doesn't pull the file_id.diz into the description. At least it
doesn't with my config.  That's what I'm trying to do.

That's an idea.
