Eliz, that's an interesting way of doing it. I started trying to think of something like that and adding it but was afraid it might be too non-standard. So far I haven't added many "maybes." It is good that Legacy gives lots of leeway so we can do what we think will be helpful. Needs a lot of planning ahead though!
