This is different from a tag how?

How do you do that?

At the moment my org file has sections like this:

,----
| * Emacs
| 
| #+CATEGORY: Emacs
| 
| 
| * Register
| 
| #+CATEGORY: Register
`----

And I then have a host of "insert task" options thus:

,----
|  '(org-remember-templates
|    (quote (
| 	   (?t "* TODO %?\n  %u\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Tasks")
|            (?n "* %U %?" "~/org/notes.org" "Notes")
|            (?f "* %U %^{Title}\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "FaceBook")
|            (?l "* %U %^{Title}\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Linux")
|            (?e "* %U %^{Title}\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Emacs")
|            (?R "* %U %^{Title}\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Register")
|            (?r "* %U %^{Title}\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Remember")
| 	   (?j "* %U %^{Title}\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Journal")
| 	   (?L "* %U %^{Title}\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Links")
| 	   )
| 	  )
`----

My question is how to assign a task to a category, preferably through a
pick/select from a list of predefined category names.

Category functionality appears to be limited to place holders in the org
file which then anchor sections in the agenda but I'm not 100% sure.

ps Is there an IRC channel for org? The mailing list is busy enough I
wonder if an IRC channel wouldnt be a good idea to help people through
teething pains.
