LLAMA Syntax Help:

Using the Category Editor

The Category Editor looks something like the following (the exact look and feel of the Category Editor may vary from computer to computer):

At the top of the Category Editor are the Delete and Edit buttons. Just below them is the Pick List, and below that are the Entry Field and the Add button.

Adding Categories

To add a category, you simply type its "name" in the Entry Field and click on the Add button. You can add bar levels to the category you are editing using the up arrow key, and subtract them using the down arrow key.

Since you can only add one category at a time, you can't type spaces in the Entry Field. You can delete the character to the left of the cursor using the Backspace key. The Delete key deletes the character to the right of the cursor.

Deleting Categories

To delete a category, first select it (from the Pick List) by clicking on it once. This will highlight the selected category. Then, click on the Delete button once. (The next category in the list will then be highlighted.)

Editing Categories

To edit a category, first select it (from the Pick List) by clicking on it once. This will highlight the selected category. Then, click on the Edit button once. This will remove the category from the list and place it in the Entry Field for editing. You can then make whatever changes you would like. When you are done making the changes, click on the Add button to put the edited category back in the list.

Tips and Tricks

Here are a couple of tips that will help you make better use of the Category Editor:

The Tab key will move you back and forth between the Entry Field and the Add button.
You can delete the contents of the Entry Field by double-clicking in it with your mouse.
