Whew! That is a relief; I didn't want to be adding a whole new area to
IDE with database and reporting anyway.

Yes this is exactly what I thought I would do. Only I was also going to
add description and comments. I think the place for user to add this
will be on the 'Program Information' screen. I've got some ideas to
remind people to do this. And just in case somebody never wants to use
this feature at all I will have that ability also.

I was originally dubious about adding 'Begin' and 'Intro' because I was
afraid the concept would mushroom into a lot of little psuedo events but
I guess since I opened the door <sigh> I can add 'Version History' but
first I want to make sure this would be of benefit to IDE users. Can I
get some feedback from other IDE users please? You might wish to e-mail
me instead of posting to Topica.
