Thank you, my friend. I will take action along those lines in this instance.
So, as to my other question, is it embedded in the program that, were it to select Article ID = "72" and apply it, either randomly or due to some protocol, to Player X, it is hard-coded so that "%personname#1" will display
that player's name and "%personname#2" will display
his manager's name (subject to the suffixes f and l as to format)?
Say the text was rearranged a bit. Say it reads "Giants manager So-and-So announced today that RP Such-and-Such has an undisclosed injury. When questioned about the exact nature of the injury, So-and-So responded with a curt 'Mind your own darned business' and left the podium." Would that be as follows?
<TEXT>[%teamnickname] manager [%personname#2 f l] announced today that RP [%personname#1 f l] has an undisclosed injury. When questioned about the exact nature of the injury, [%personname#2 l] responded with a curt 'Mind your own darned business' and left the podium.</TEXT>
In other words, person #2 is the manager and person #1 is the player, regardless of their order of appearance in the text?
