I am glad to hear that you managed to resolve this problem.

Yes, I merely copied the orders into Notepad and then re-sized the game windows so that Notepad appeared at the bottom of the screen.

The ability to enter an actual date while creating a scenario was only some recently added chrome/fluff. It is purely superficial. For
over twenty-five years, no one even mentioned it.
I think that most players select the "Show Game Time Remaining" option under the Game Options menu (Ctrl+K), as that is the only relevant information.
