Hi,

1. Open Set Custom Commands dialog
2. Click Add button
3. Type command name where the cursor is
4. Press Enter (required to save the command)
5. Click on same row under Label column
6. Type a name/label for the command
7. Press Enter (required to save the label)
8. Click OK button

To use:
Press <Ctrl>1-9 (depending which number you added)
   Or use Edit->Format->Send Selection To->Your New Command
   Or right-click on editor area for context menu, same as above

Cheers,
