Following the help recommendation does not "fix" the
problem. I type "octo" and hit insert and October
appears; add a space and the date should "autocomplete" so
one can push "enter" again. Two stations work properly
and two do not and all appear set the same. Is there a
secret?

It's a mystery why this works on some systems and not on others, but no one
has been able to find a way to make it work if it doesn't. Sorry.

G'day "Sande" <rds@vetmed.wsu.edu>,

I'd be looking into whether you had autocorrect deviations in your
tenplates.

"Sande" <rds@vetmed.wsu.edu> was spinning this yarn:
