Quoting Dave Drum to Sean Dennis <=-
Question about MM: can I copy the categories from one database to
another? I'm about to import 150,000 more recipes from files I've
created and don't want to have to hand-edit each database's file.
I don't know the answer to that. I don't think it's important. If I am editing a recipe's categories and I enter one that isn't in my list MM asks, "(K)eep, (A)dd, (D)elete".

There is also a utility called MMM that among other things can
change or delete categories en mass. I often change other people's categories e.g. "Oriental" to "Asian" etc. and delete categories I
don't need like "meats" or "baking". Since any given recipe can
only have 5 categories listed that makes room for more precise
descriptive labels like "venison" and "pies".

I use "Oriental" for Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese dishes. I
use "Asian" for dishes from the Indian sub-continent (aka South Asia).

After some discussion with Michael Loo, I have stopped using the term Oriental and use Asian for all of those areas if I am not using a
single country name.. His opinion was that the term Oriental was offensive to many -- and I accepted his opinion.
