Of course if this is done via states, entering one state assumes that all previous states have been entered (and thus must be set). For cases of FLYRECORD and LATENCY, those two would diverge in states (basically like branches in a tree), but still maintain that being in any given state, stores the information that all previous states have been hit. Or do you know of a situation where that is not the case? -- Steve
