+<h3>Specifying Categories</h3>
+
+<p>It is possible to change the category into which the questions are added within the GIFT file.
+You can change the category as many times as you wish within the file. All questions after the modifier
+up to the next modifier or the end of the file will be added to the specified category. Up to the first
+category modifier the category specified on the import screen will be used. Note that for this to work
+the <b>from file:</b> box must be ticked on the import screen.</p>
+
+<p>To include a category modifier include a line like this:
+
+<pre>
+$CATEGORY: tom/dick/harry
+</pre>
+
+or simply
+
+<pre>
+$CATEGORY: mycategory
+</pre>
+
+...the first example specifies a path of nested categories. In this cae the questions will go into <i>harry</i>. The
+categories are created if they do not exist.</p>
+
<p><u>Other Options:</u><br />
Short Answer questions can be made case sensitive by changing "0" to "1" in the following line:<br />
<tt>$question->usecase = 0; // Ignore case</tt></p>

+<p align="center"><b>Import Category</b></p>
+
+<p>The <b>Category:</b> drop-down is used to select the
+category into which the imported questions
+will go.</p>
+
+<p>Some import formats (GIFT and XML Format) permit the category
+to be specified inside the import file. In order for this to
+happen the <b>from file</b> box must be ticked. If it is not,
+the questions will go into the selected category regardless
+of any instructions in the file.</p>
+
+<p>When categories are specified inside an import file, if they
+do not exist they will be created.</p>
