I should have added in my post that if you click on the HELP button after
opening the Add Event window, you are taken to a section of the Help file which
is very similar to what you quoted but misleading about adding a new event.
That section is entitled “Add or Edit and an Event/Fact” but only talks about
the editing portion. For example, …
Quote
(If you want to define a new event that is not already in the
Master Event Definition List, see Editing The Master Event Definition List,
below.)
………..
Editing an Event
To change the name, description, date, location, or comments of an existing
event:
1. Highlight the event line you want to edit in the individual's Event List.
2. Click Edit to the right of the list to display the Edit Event window.
3. Make the desired changes and click the Save button.
Endquote
There is no mention on that Help page about adding a new event name. And note
that this info comes after the user clicks the Help button on an Add Event
window. There should be a link within that section of the Help File that takes
one to the “Adding a New Master Event Definition”.
I’m curious as to what section of the Help file you are quoting. Can you give
the section number from the bottom of the page. I know it’s probably in there
somewhere but just where? If one does a search on “Adding a New Master Event
Definition”, you can select the topic “Add or Edit Event Definition” which will
give detailed info about how to add a new event but it is different than what
you are quoting. Maybe that was my point: a relatively new user who doesn’t
know how to add a new event would have problems navigating the Help file search
functions and would tend to click the Help button on the pertinent window that
he or she is looking at.

Adding a New Master Event Definition
To add a new event to the Master Event Definition List:
1. Click Add. The Add/Edit Event Definition window displays.
2. Type in the name and sentence definitions of the new event.
3. Click Save to save the new event definition.

What's wrong with that? Seems perfectly correct and straightforward to me.
