5.1.3.9 CRBasic Editor Tools Menu
This menu item allows you to use special tools associated with the operation of 
the editor. 
5.1.3.9.1 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.
