What I meant was some sort of typing error in the file, and in that case, 
simply retype that section over again.

As for errors, I've never purposefully made errors in the NPCONFIG file, but 
it's my impression that the code that reads the file doesn't report errors, 
Rather it simply ignores anything it doesn't understand.

But that's only my impression.

I do remember vaguely that the NPCONFIG code does not like files stored as 
"numbered" EDITOR text, where the line numbers are out at the edge of the file. 
Be sure that that isn't your problem.
