eventlog.writeentry method parameters and categories

A number of the overloaded forms of the eventlog.writeentry method allow for
an event log entry CATEGORY (a short numeric).

The help for this method states:

'Each application can define its own numbered categories and the text
strings to which they map.'

How do I define the text strings and map them to the numeric category
numbers?

When I view my entries in the event log I wish to see text categories not
numbers. How do I do this if the method only allows me to pass a numeric?
I can see some entries in the Application, System and Security event logs
with text categories so how do I create an entry in this way?

Many thanks.
