Eric, 
Sorry for the later reply.....I actually switched to Comet workflow now...
since I use dimethylation to do the labeling, and I search L and H labeled 
peptide separately as fixed modification, the tandem.pep.xml now have these 
two modifications in Nterm, 
<terminal_modification terminus="n" massdiff="28.03" mass="29.0378" 
protein_terminus="N" variable="Y"/>
<terminal_modification terminus="n" massdiff="42.0106" mass="43.0184" 
protein_terminus="N" variable="Y" symbol="^" /><!--X! Tandem n-terminal AA 
variable modification-->
The ASAPratio can not really tell which one is the label....
