Which do you consider higher priority, A or C?

If A, just make sure to leave enough "recpriority" space between A and
B and insert D in there.

If C, you're effectively saying you like D more than B, B more than A
and A more than D, right?  Is that really going to happen that often?
IMHO, not often enough to justify the added complexity and confusion
it causes.

Programs that can't be recorded because of conflicts will be
highlighted.  This won't be done, however, if an rsOtherShowing can be
recorded.
