3. Say or click "Keyword Filter."
4. Say or type a keyword for the command you want to train in the Choose

5. Say or click "Add" to move the word to the "Current list of filter words."
Repeat until you have as many keywords as you need to find the command

6. Say or click "Done."

looking for, expanding it with the Optional, Ellipsis, or Refine buttons if nec-
essary.
