 ml>> ahhh.. the language definition file...

 NB> Yeah. Here I just use goldlang.cfg, and it was easy to find and fix.

yeah, i did the same but in the reader header and the internal editor header,
using the three letter month chopped the last digit of the seconds off... i
wasn't able to find where that's set so it must be something in the code where
it determines the terminal width... hummm... just need to move it left a space
if the three letter month is used with the four digit year... might be better
if it was moved left two or three spaces so the last character aligns with the
last character of the echotag above and the insert/overwrite indicator as seen
in the internal editor...

 ml>> bingo! that's the secret! someone, nick i think, asked some time back

remember to make a backup in case ya farkle something... this would probably be
something where a git repo would be very handy to store the changes made to the
language file :lol:
