Would you recommend doing so even though the basic function remains  
the same, and I just need to change a small thing or two about each  
attribute (such as the wording in the description of the field,  
etc.)?  Wouldn't I then lose the advantages of any updated versions of  
the ATEvent as they come along?

Currently I pull this field into the object thusly:
     ...
     copied_fields['description'],
     ...

How/where would I use getRawDescription() to pull in the raw version  
into the object?  or is this not possible with copied fields?

Thank you,
~John
