My example was to show a repository. The name (and address, if desired) of
the repository would be the person or entity holding the source. If the
repository is the "writer", then I would have a Repository in my Master
Repository List for "copy held by this writer". Actually if I was to use
this source, I would use someone else's name and address, since they hold
the source that I used as an example.

You create a new Source Category in the System Configuration Screen. You
must have chosen the Custom Category Option first. Then click on the
Configure button which displays the Custom Source Categories (CSC) window.
Click on the Add button to display the CSC-Templates window and enter the
name of the new Category. Then click on the down arrow and choose the
standard Source Category which youur new category "is most similar to".
Following this, you may click on the Full Footnote, Short Footnote, and
Bibliography buttons to open edit windows and enter the dsired Templates.
Click OK when finished to save the new Source Category. After exiting the
Custom Source Category widow and System Configuratio windows, you may use
the ew Source Category i your Master Source List.

Hope this helps -
