Try the editorial annotation, RR.  I think it is Ctrl-Shift-R or you can go to
"Game" - "Annotation" - "Editorial Annotation RR"  Either way it will mark down
the move in the game as a "novelty", meaning that it is the first move in the
game that departs from any of the 2,000,000 games in your Mega 2002 database.
