Pool definitions can be created using either of two basic methods:
A skeletal pool definition can be created by specifying the name of a new pool definition in the entry panel. (The table specified in the entry panel can be either a new or an existing table.) In this case, virtually all fields of the pool definition are empty.
A copy of an existing pool definition can be created using the INSERT option (described later) in the Pool List screen. In this case, most fields of the new pool definition have the same values as the fields in the copied pool definition.
