I think this is actually a problem with implementation of the Personality feature with Rebel Century. Say you have defined/selected a personality with the "Define Personality" option (or the "D" hotkey) and then want to go back to the default Rebel Century. If you go to the option menu and pulldown the Rebel Century personality it won't be updated! It seems to be that since the last "named" personality was also Rebel Century, it sees this new option pick as 'nothing new' and it doesn't update. If you use the option to select another named personality (e.g. Kasparov), then go back to Rebel Century it will update. Note that this is also why the "Strongest Settings" option sometimes won't revert to Rebel Century. If you have using a different personality but the last named personality was Rebel Century, it won't update. It will update if your last named personality was different. I have one hotkey set up to select the Kasparov personality then a second to pick the strongest settings. When I want to go back to strongest settings, I use them sequencially to ensure the personality is updated. Or you could use the "D" hotkey and select Rebel.eng like you did. I will submit a copy of this post at the Rebel Board to let Ed know there's some confusion here.
