When quoting my note, you left out this part of your note that I was
responding to:
"That should work in all cases, just trap the error display the error and
let the user choose G, C, D."

I thought you meant that you wanted to let the user choose between
G, C and D.  I was objecting to letting the user choose G.  But maybe
by "user" you meant "programmer using your general error handler"?
