    At 04:06:23 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 191213 ***A*** (trigger=944091).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 224.507, -9.726 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 14h 58m 02s
       Dec(J2000) = -09d 43' 33"
    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 ~1093 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~2 sec after the trigger.
