[Wien] LMMAX again

As I mentioned before, the negative l is just a method to specify 
one of the four possible linear combinations.
To expand the LM list in case.in2, just type in manually the higher 
combinations. In the cubic cases (positive atomic numbers in the 
case.struct file) the order of LM pairs matters and higher LM values are 
given explicitely in the UG. For other pointgroups either take the 
"intelligence test" and continue the series in analogy to the l=0-6 
values, or use the Table in the UG and translate the lm definitions given 
there.

But I don't understand why there are "plus and minus" symbols shown before "l" in 
Table 7.39 in the manual, and the real LM list generated used in WIEN2k has negative "l" 
(see Table 7.38)? Is it just an indicator of the possible combinations? 
How can I add the extra LM combinations beyond maximum value 6 by hand? 
Does the order of the LM combinations matter in the calculation?
