Nikon D7000 Commander Mode Group A-B Question

When set in Commander Mode the D7000 allows 2 seperate groups of off camera flashes to be used A & B. My SB-600 appears to allow Wireless multiple flash shooting for 3 groups A,B and C. Page 58 of the SB-600 manual. I may have answered my own question but is the example in the manual of A,B and C just for illistrative purposes as flash groups would be set to the same Channel and I guess the choices per group could only be Manual or TTL? Just having brain freeze. Camera 2 Groups, SB-600 3 Groups? Any clarification would be appreciated.

"Page 58 of the SB-600 manual" Remember the Good Old Days, when you put a flash bulb in the socket and hit the shutter button? :D

Very clever that four-in-one, with a rotation after each shot.

I think you can only control a Group C if you have a Nikon SU-800 or set up the SB-800, SB-900 or SB-910 as commander units.
The SB-700 might as well, but I don't have one of those.

BTW-Thanks for asking the question- I have been having trouble accessing all of the controls to my SU-800 and found the switch inside the battery compartment was on the macro setting.

I don't miss those days. I recall shooting high school basketball with a bulb flash and keeping a few of the big No. 25 bulbs in my front pants pocket. Static electricity ignited one and I wound up with a huge welt on my thigh. Never happens with my electronic flashes...
