I don't understand the description on this point at all. Normally I can figure it out from the examples people have written but there aren't any yet!!

From hearing this in everyday use I thought that it meant in (in this way)なにかする。For example, 「楽しくする」 - do it while having fun. But by these descriptions it seems like it might be totally different?

I'm trying to add more example sentences, but it takes time because I run them all by native speakers before they appear on these pages.

I can help you out with that usage though. Like the point says, it's often used when making decisions, like at a restaurant. If the waiter asks you what you want, you could say
カレーにします. (I'll have the curry).

The adjectival forms are much rarer, but still valid. The noun form is what I hear the most often.

Oh, I see!! The curry point made it a lot clearer.

My apologies, it's been a while since I've used renshuu, and I missed the tab for the user-submitted sentences! There are loads of examples on there.
