Ah!

2143, actually. You must have added A LOT of taglines!

That's the one.

It actually works just leaving the name as is, and pointing to tag.trt
in the TaRTII directory.

No, it doesn't. That's not what meant, but I used the wrong term.
They're really called SPECIAL date. What this feature allows you to do
is specify a particular tagline that will ALWAYS be used on the
specified date. For example, I could enter the URL for a Web page with
April Fool's jokes and associate it with April 1, so any messages
created on April 1 (and only on that date) will use that tag.
I think TaRT does other things that TB doesn't do, but I haven't
studied it that carefully yet. The Special Date feature did appeal to
me, though.

Yes, the first thing I did was start deleting taglines that are
inappropriate for my personality. There are some good ones in there,
though!
Thanks for the suggestion.
