Defining Categories
We are working towards the goal of having all setup functions accessible from the program. Unfortunately,
the setup for categories is not one of them. To set up and enable a category table you must still modify the
initialization file manually. Using either NotePad or WordPad, open the interact.ini file located in the
windows folder (usually C:\Windows). In the initialization file, find these sections and make the
modifications to the listed keywords. You will find additional keywords in your initialization file. Ignore
them for now and just worry about the ones listed here.
