This dialog lets you specify what to embed at this point. CLICK on the item to embed, then press the **Select** button.

The choices are:

| **Call a procedure** | Provides a dialog that lets you specify a procedure to call. |
| **SOURCE** | Calls the Text Editor, allowing you to hand code the embedded source. |
| **Code Templates** | The templates listed here depend on the templates you have [[gen100.htm|registered]]. Code templates generate executable code. Generally, each Code template has one well-defined task. For example, the Initiate Thread Code template simply starts a new execution thread, and no more. Typically, the Code template provides a dialog box with options and instructions. |
