                    Screen For Setting Category Names And #'s

         Once Category NUMBERS are set and data is entered, don't change
         them here, or Category totaling which is done by Category # will
         get messed up.  Name changes are OK.  New names and C#'s are ok.

         Check your bills or your last tax return for possible Catagories.
         Leave a blank or two between groups of like items (lights, water,
         disposal).  Also use easy-to-press #'s like 11,12,12,22,23,24,etc.
         Print and save this screen (Shift-Print Screen) for a reference.
