I think I smell a troll. :)
There are at least two ways to do this:
1. LDAO's Visual Element Catalog (VEC) will let you create any number of
part-categories, and you can move parts into the category you want by
simple drag-n-drop.
Drawbacks: the categories are only single-level (no nested categories),
each part can only be in a single category.
If you don't have LDAO, you can read about at
<http://members.home.com/steve.bliss/ldao/>. But don't download it from
there right now (as of Sept 28 2000). Get a good copy at
<http://members.home.net/steve.bliss/ldao/test/ldaosetup.exe>.
2. Edit the part files in ldraw\parts. The part-name is on the first line
of each file. Leave the leading "0 " alone, but change the rest of the
line however you want. After you're done hacking your files, run mklist to
regenerate the parts list.
