    At 04:41:15 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 190718 ***A*** (trigger=915091).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
The BAT on-board calculated location is 
RA, Dec 336.531, -41.221 which is 
   RA(J2000) = 22h 26m 07s
   Dec(J2000) = -41d 13' 13"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a [**double-peaked**]
structure with a duration of about TTT sec.  The peak count rate
was ~2296 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger.
