The action buttons are completely configurable. You can edit, delete, deactivate,

or rearrange them. You can move them into different sets. You can create

additional buttons for these sets or organize them into new sets.
A set is a group of buttons that displays at any one time and can contain up to 99

buttons. Since the window only holds about eight action buttons, you view the

others in the set by clicking the left and right arrows.

To add a new action button to the set, click the Add button on the toolbar.

To edit an existing button, click the button itself. This opens the Button
