To initialize the AppInfoType structure, you call
CategoryInitialize, passing a string list resource containing
category names. This function creates as many category indexes and
unique IDs as are necessary. You only need to make this call when
the database is first created or when you newly assign the
application info block to the database.
The string list resource is an appInfoStringsRsc ('tAIS')
resource. It contains predefined categories that new users see when
they start the application for the first time. Note that the call to
CategoryInitialize is the only place where you use an
appInfoStringsRsc. Follow these guidelines when creating the
resource:

I do feel your frustration as this wasn't explicitly mentioned in the
earlier versions of the docs but, hey, warnings are your friend :-)
