+The {\it Add Port} dialog box will be opened. You may then select the data  
+type for the component ({\tt complexShort} or {\tt complexFloat} from
+{\it standardInterfaces} is recommended) and its type.
 Whether or not the port is a {\it Uses} or {\it Provides} port is often a point of
 confusion for users who are unfamiliar with the SCA; in most simple cases, a
 {\it Uses} port corresponds to an output interface, while a {\it Provides} port
 corresponds to an input interface.

+Give the port a unique name (e.g. {\it complex\_baseband}) and click ``Ok.''
+The new port should now appear in the ``Ports'' pane of the {\it OSSIE
+Component Editor} window.
