Creating a new resource directly from the main panel

From the main Scheduling Environment Selection List panel, put the cursor under the Resources field at the top of the screen and press Enter. When the pop-up box appears, enter a 1, as shown in Figure 1. (In this pop-up, 1 is the only option.)

This will take you directly to the Resource Definition List panel, where you can add new resources. Enter an A on any Action line, as shown in Figure 2. (Alternately, you can put a / next to the resource names and then put the cursor under the Resources field at the top of the screen and hit ENTER. Then select 1 from the options in the pop-up box.)

Note that the panel automatically alphabetizes the resource names. Note also that VECTOR is not yet shown as In Use. We would need to go create or modify a scheduling environment and then select VECTOR.
