When you place your cursor arrow over the Tag icon the “Add a Tag to the

to another Tag with the “Activate and pass tag” instruction, (or in a chain of Tags
which terminates in a link to an Event button) or to an Event, then the Tag will
pass its descriptor information or mark the Event in accordance with the link
