Aaah haaa, many thanks ibrahim. OK, I have now edited 
"..\otrs\Kernel\Output\HTML\Standard\AgentTicketPhoneNew.dtl" and 
"AgentTicketEmail.dtl" uncommenting the relevant lines.

I also added to my "..\otrs\Kernel\Config.pm" the following:

    $Self->{"TicketFreeKey1"} = {
        '' => '-',
        'OS' => 'OS',
    };

    $Self->{"TicketFreeText1"} = {
        '' => '-',
        'Windows 2000 Pro' => 'Windows 2000 Pro',
        'Windows 9x' => 'Windows 9x',
        'Windows NT Workstation' => 'Windows NT Workstation',
        'Windows XP Home' => 'Windows XP Home',
        'Windows XP Pro' => 'Windows XP Pro',
    };

Now I see the new dropdowns when creating new Phone- or Email-Tickets :O)

Is this right what I am doing? Another clarification issue - I did lots of this 
"TicketFreeKey..." customisation through my browser (in Admin, System, 
SysConfig, ...). is it true that I need to do it here as well as manually 
editing my Config.pm and relevant .dtl files? Ibrahim, you didn't mention 
either SysConfig or the Config.pm file - are theses stages not required then, 
simply change the relevent .dtl files?

Sorry, I'm new to OTRS and trying to understand how to customise it, is there a 
FAQ on how to correctly customise particular views (new tickets, replies etc.), 
easily explaining the stages and files to edit.

Thanks again for any help here.

Hi Oliver,

As I see, it is now time to read old questions in this list :p As far as I 
experienced, you will be able to see the new defined fields after commenting 
out.
Be sure that you are checking the correct .dtl file in the frontend.

this info. may be helpful:
AgentTicketEmail.dtl = for new e-mail ticket AgentTicketCompose.dtl = for 
composing a reply

Kind Regards,
ibrahim
