 It seems this was already addressed. There is now

Good grief! I never thought to look in the help file for macros. I always
thought the entire list of macros was what appeared in the templates. Thanks for
the information.

My Windows did a major update this morning and is now

In the help file's full alphabetic list of macros, "-" is the first on
the list. You use it to create line breaks in the template without
creating the corresponding line breaks in the message (which I do to
make my templates easier to read). No idea why it should make any
difference to the output from executing the windows version macros,
but glad it helped.

Hmmm, interesting. When I open a command window the first line says "Microsoft
Windows [Version 10.0.17134.950]". The only difference is the last three
numbers.

I changed my sig to match yours and you can see the result. The only odd thing I
see is your use of the "percent,dash" in two places without anything following
it. That apparently made the difference but I don't see how unless 
"percent,dash"
is just undocumented.

Anyway at least my sig now shows which version number I'm using.

Thanks once again M for helping me out.

My first thought is that I didn't realise "Windows 10" was an actual
version number, rather than a marketing name like Windows
95/98/2000/ME/XP/Vista/7/8. However, when I open a command window the
first line says:- 
  Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.885]

This seems to match the string "Windows 10.0 Build 17134" in my
signature, so at least some of the Windows version macros work in TB!
v8.8.2.5 (BETA)(64-bit). My template has %WINDOWSPLATFORMNAME %-
%WINDOWSMAJORVERSION.%WINDOWSMINORVERSION Build %- %WINDOWSBUILDNUMBER
%WINDOWSCSDVERSION%-. The last one of those macros seems to return
nothing, where I would have expected 885.

I also notice %THEBATVERSION macro fails to return the "(64-bit)"
suffix. I just reported this at 
https://bt.ritlabs.com/view.php?id=1809.

Thanks M for looking into it. I should have mentioned that the above message
does not appear to be causing any problems as all messages do get sent. It's
just that I thought it might be something I should be concerned about.
But apparently not at this time.

Again, I appreciate your taking the time to look into it.

I just noticed that one of the macros in my sig no longer works. You'll see that
none of the "Windows" macros returns the actual version number which is 10. Any 
thoughts?
