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 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.
