 I'll give it a shot, but the filters don't really convert to plain
 text too well.  So there will still be a few words...

z>>>> (A or B or (C and D and (E or F)))?

 Try the following:

 String                 Location     Presence
 A                      Kludges      Yes

 Then click on the Alternative tab and click on Add Set
 In the new set that is added, put the following

 String                 Location     Presence
 B                      Kludges      Yes

 Click Add set again, and make the new set read:

 String                 Location     Presence
 C                      Kludges      Yes
 D                      Kludges      Yes
 E|F                    Kludges      Yes


> And this is good to show how multiple rules are made to interact:
ML>> A or B or (C and D and E) or (C and D and F)
ML>> and use four rule sets (1 primary plus 3 alternatives) to do it.

 String                 Location     Presence
 A                      Kludges      Yes

 Then click on the Alternative tab and click on Add Set
 In the new set that is added, put the following

 String                 Location     Presence
 B                      Kludges      Yes

 Click Add set again, and make the new set read:

 String                 Location     Presence
 C                      Kludges      Yes
 D                      Kludges      Yes
 E                      Kludges      Yes

 Click Add set again, and make the new set read:

 String                 Location     Presence
 C                      Kludges      Yes
 D                      Kludges      Yes
 F                      Kludges      Yes

 Probably more confusing than what is currently there.
