Robin,

This is one enhancement request that Bob is already well aware of. He has
contributed to previous threads on the subject. My recollection of his
position (and I hope I'm not misrepresenting him) was that, because the
program currently provides a way of doing this, by attaching parents as
witnesses, it was not an issue high on his list of priorities.

As Teresa has rightly pointed out, US users would like it too.
