• AFR: Edit Menu - a new section has been added to help with AFR issues.
• Modified the Summary report to illustrate charitable bequests from the Calculation Assumptions screen.
• Calculation Assumptions screen: when prior taxable gifts were entered, it was assumed that the Deceased Spousal Unused Exclusion was based on the Prior Adjustable Gifts always utilizing the maximum Unified Credit allowed.  This is the case for most case analyses, but the program now adjusts the DSUE based on the taxable gifts in line with the Unified Credit entered on this screen.
• Analysis of Taxes at Death Report - a few additional result entries have been added to show the flow of taxes.
• The Open and Save icons on the speed bar were disconnected.  The user had to use the "File" menu or F2/F3 in order to use those functions.  This has been resolved.
