This dialog is used to configure properties of a given course.

At the left is a set of tabs: Home, Advanced, Relay, and Overprint, each of which has configuration options for the course.

At the right is the Course pane, listing the controls on the course, and showing forks and loops.  When you wish to add and remove controls, or create/remove forks and loops, use this part of the dialog.

You can resize this dialog to make the Course pane larger when needed.  Click and drag one of the edges of the dialog window to resize.

Controls and Course

There are two panes to the right in the dialog window:

1. Controls: contains a list of controls that can be used on the course, and
2. Course: The controls that make up the course. 

To Add a control:

1. In the Course pane, highlight the point in the course at which to insert the new control.  Click on the control, ahead of which you want to insert the new control, so that the "insert caret" is placed between the two controls where you want to insert.
2. Highlight the control to be inserted in Controls pane - double-click on the control code, or click the "Insert Control" button.
3. The new control is inserted at the place where the caret was shown, and the caret moves to below the new control.

Note: Condes prevents you from inserting the same control twice in a row.  Condes also prevents you from inserting a given control if this would result in the control appearing twice in a row in any course variation.

To Delete a control, highlight it in the course and press the Del button on the keyboard, or click on the "delete" button (the red cross button).

Note: Condes prevents you from deleting a control, if this would result in the same control code appearing twice in a row.
