If you actually meant a dropdown category then it's already there in the template. So I'll guess you mean something else and maybe you want to see the toplist generator in your admin panel.
<!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 5 --> <CONFIG>categories,id,20,ascending,,,,0,0,0,0</CONFIG>
<!-- END TOPLIST 5 -->
I pasted it in wrapper navigatonal bar on leftside. Nothing appears.
One more thing: what does this means: "Please note that you must re-number this toplist to a number which will be unique for whatever page you are using it on:"
Nothing appears because you told it to show nothing. If you want something to appear, you should type something in the toplist generator where it asks you to type the content of what you want shown. There are no psychic powers involved.

What I meant is like a list (not dropdown list). One by one on the web page directly. Like regular links in navigational bar.

Then you probably want to make a toplist of categories with the condition parent=0.

As mentioned before, click 'toplist generator' in your 'admin panel'.

OK. I generated this:
<!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 5 -->
<CONFIG>categories,id,20,ascending,,,,0,0,0,0</CONFIG>
<!-- END TOPLIST 5 -->
I pasted it in wrapper navigatonal bar on leftside. Nothing appears.
