+\S{cmdContmgm} Layout Control Elements Dialog
+
+This dialog is used to manage layout control elements (blocks, switchmotors, and signals).
+
+Control Elements are elements related to layout control: blocks (occupancy
+detection), switchmotors (actuators to "throw" turnouts), signals, controls
+(other actuator or output devices), and sensors (other sensor or input
+devices). These elements don't relate to directly "physical" items on the
+layout, but instead refer to the elements used by the layout control software.
+These elements contain "scripts", which are really just textual items that
+provide information for the layout control software and provide a bridge
+between physical layout elements (like tracks or turnouts) and the layout
+control software. These textual items could be actual software code or could
+be LCC Events (for I/O device elements on a LCC network) or DCC addresses for
+stationary decoders, etc. XTrackCAD does not impose any sort of syntax or format
+-- that is left up to other software that might load and parse the XTrkCAD
+layout file. All that XTrackCAD does is provide a unified place for this
+information to be stored and to provide a mapping (association) between this
+control information and the layout itself.
+
+\G{png.d/lcemanager.png}
+
+The main part of this dialog contains a list of the currently defined layout
+control elements (blocks, switchmotors, signals, controls, and sensors),
+along with the tracks they relate to. These elements are added to the layout
+either from their Hotbar menus or from the Add menu.
+
+The \f{Edit} button allows for editing a control element. And the \f{Delete} button 
+deletes the selected element(s).

 \S{cmdGroup} Group Dialog
 
 The \f{Group} command combines the selected (\K{cmdSelect}) Lines and Shapes (\K{cmdDraw}) to create structures (\K{cmdHotBar}).  You can give the structure (\K{cmdHotBar}) a title consisting of Manufacturer, Description and Part Number on the \f{Group} dialog.
