  Thank you Jean-Marie,

You have helped me once again. I have two copies of the scrguien.pdf
and I use the latest. Read it, but obviously I don't know how to
use it. How to put the commands together in some instances.

I read this: sigbeforevskip vertical skip between closing and signature
(section 6.6.1, page 207)

But didn't really understand it.

Even tried working with this:
\setkomavar{signature}{John McEnvy\\{\small (Vice-President ‘‘The Other 
Society’’)}}

\closing{Regards\\(for the board of directors)}

But couldn't put it together to rectify my problem, then searched the
net again and couldn't come up with the right answer.

Thank you again, because you have solved my problem once more, and you
will know it's much appreciated.

Be well,
Charlie
