Okay, you're talking about the land (parcel) description, not a whole region description. You could indeed set and get this using the osParcelSetDetails()/llParcelGetDetails(). However, as Garmin suggested, you're probably better off using the description field of an object hidden somewhere on the sim.

At some point in the future we may have a script facility for storing somewhat larger chunks of data in objects than the 255 character limit of Description fields. However, this option currently requires more design thought, imho.

I meant when you use a viewer, you have the option of looking at "About Land".  
Under that window you can change the
name of the sim, it shows the UUID under that and then there is a small box for 
a description. In the same way you can
edit an item or object.  The description can be chnaged in both SL and Opensim 
using a script.  I just wanted to know if
anyone knew enough about some new OS commands that let you do the same.

I'm not sure what you're asking here.  Regions don't have descriptions.  If 
you're asking about changing the region
name on the fly then that isn't possible (and I don't think that's likely to 
change very soon).

I'm not sure why windlight changes aren't working for you.  You might want to 
file a Mantis.

I was thinking, since I am having issues getting the windshare scripts to work,

trying to use windlight/windshare for a better weather system. I was wondering 
if there is a way in a script to change
or add to a region description, like you can use scripting to change and read 
and write to an object description.
Because everything works the way I would expect when using things like 
/*Sky:"Blizzard"Water:"[TOR] Subtleties"*/.
Maybe when a storm is in the air I could chnage my normal region descripting to add 
"/*Sky:"Blizzard"Water:"[TOR]
Subtleties"*/" to the end, then remove it when the storm is over?

It was only a thought since this can be does with objects.  Any ideas? Or has 
the Issue in Mantis been fixed?  I am not
even sure if it has anything to do with my problem with scripting windshare. 
The example scripts compile, and they say
succes when complete.  I got the setting variable I wanted, changed it, then 
check to see what the get windlight script
said, and the change saved.  I even set my water to black, because I knew I 
would notice that change greatly.  The
variable changed, I checked and the returned value said it did. Using 
Firestorm, and Kokua to test, still no visual
change to me.

Still adding "/*Sky:"Blizzard"Water:"[TOR] Subtleties"*/" chnages my view 
instantly walking into and out of a region.  I
am still using 7.4, is it me, or a bug?  IF I could get this to work, I find 
this a muc beter way then partical clouds
to create storm and rain cloouds if this would only work.
