RE: DBUG> MSP Wishlist

[Dick Eades <deades@cox-internet.com>]

I'll vote for this, too.  Mike's suggestions are right on target also.
I would add that I would like to have the MSP detail names default to
using the GTV names they come from.  If they're not from a GTV, then
default to detail#.

EXCELLENT suggestion!

While we're at it, add in the ability to rename an MSP detail, and
also
the ability to re-order the details (a la 3D GTV's).
