What distinction do you make between the two available cue-bids in this auction:

P - P - 1 - 1
2-3/3?

Including 2NT in the mix of possible degrees of raise seems to be a good thing. I guess we need all three in these days, where opening bids are shaded and non-forcing freebids occur. In olden times, when the 1S overcall was the only suspect bid, mixed raises could just bid 2S and 2NT could be a crap bid with long diamonds.
