oJust separate the choices with slashes.
oWhen you are ready to add your list to the MultiChoice system, highlight the block of text containing the list and then click on the MultiChoice item in Pathagoras features dropdown (Authoring/Editing tools). Click the 'Insert Prepared List' from the choices. Then click Next. Pathagoras will ask what alias you want to assign to the list. Provide a one or two word alias. Pathagoras does the rest.
