4. Click on the Edit button to open the Wizard
This checks out the *.slcf file.

5. Click on Cancel to close the Wizard
The *.slcf file will still be checked out.
Do not close the Main Dialog yet.

6. Open the *.slcf file under [PROJECTFOLDER]\ACPlantTools\PlantExpressTools\SelectionLists in a text editor

7. Make your modifications in the file and save and close it

8. Click on Refresh in the Main Dialog
This will read the *.slcf file again so you see if there are any error in the file.

9. Close the Main Dialog
This checks in the *.slcf file.
