as you point out, it's difficult to set the server up to recognize an auto G-line--at the very minimum, it would require changing the protocol (AGAIN!). I fear that the best solution to the problem involves writing scripts that recognize which G-lines are auto and which are not--perhaps we can make all the various Uworlds add "[AUTO]" to the beginning of the G-line reason when the G-line was automatically issued in order to provide something for the scripts to filter on. -- Kevin L.
