Thanks.  The zone-double idea dawned on me when Jack told me what the
acronym DEOL is.  I have used DEOL many times on access control, but
never named it :-)

I like yours and Doug's solution with the DSC panel.  Thanks.  Now I
have to figure out what is the least hassle.  Either way- the price
just went up.  I was never told he wanted that capability - but I take
partial blame for not presenting it.
