Question re buy-stop-limit order on TOS

For you who trade on TOS, how do you go about choosing to set this type of order? I know it might seem to be a rudimentary question, but I want to be sure I'm choosing the one Derek uses. Colby -- if you have any insight -- please chime in. Every time I try to set a buy - -then set the stop for the small cap gap - I get an error saying I cannot do short sales. I'm not trying to do a short sale. :( Frustrated over here.
