This menu item allows you to use special tools associated with the operation of
the editor.
9.3.9.1 Edit Instruction Categories
Edit Instruction Categories allows the user to create one or more custom list
of instructions. If a category of instructions is selected from the Instructions
Panel, the entire list of instructions in the Editor will be filtered to show only
those instructions in the selected category. (Note: The default categories
cannot be edited or deleted.)
To create a new list, first select the Add New Category button and provide a
name for the user-created category. Next, ensure the category name is selected
and click the Edit Category button to bring up the Select Instructions dialog
(shown below). Instructions that should be included in the new list are
indicated by a check in the box to the left of the instruction name. This feature
allows the user to display a filtered instruction list containing only those
instructions most often used. Press OK to save the list.
