I presume you mean that you want a custom _tag_ (not flag). Otherwise, I
don't see any problem with what you describe although I wonder why you just
don't use the Anecdote tag. The only difference is that you would enter
the word "remember" in the Memo field instead of the "||" separator and
thus not have the multiple Memo field.

Hope this helps -
