help with HS2002 session drummer?

I'm new to Cakewalk - just got HomeStudio 2002 about a week ago. One of the many things I'm trying to figure out is the session drummer, and I'm having no luck. I searched this forum, but didn't find any info on my problem.

I select a MIDI track then choose the Session Drummer MIDI effect. When I do that, the Session Drummer window comes up, but there is nothing listed under Style, Pattern, or Song... :confused:

Here are my track settings:
Ch: 10
Pch: 1
Bank: 16256-1..128
In: None - I've tried MIDI Omni, although I don't know what that is, and I've also tried MIDI Ch 10, but neither helped matters
Out: 2-General MIDI Drums - my 2 out is 'Santa Cruz DLS Synth', and I can record/hear drums using the piano roll

Can anyone tell what I'm doing wrong? From my search in this forum, I've gathered that Session Drummer should be ready to go "out-of-the-box" with HomeStudio without the need to go download any plug-ins or anything, so I'm at a loss as to what I'm missing.

Thanks for any help you can offer me.

There's an error in the Helpfile. If you go over to Cakewalk's website and join the HomeStudio newsserver group, people have posted the correction.
