Narrative:
After a change of landing runways to 36R; was cleared direct to mcghe on the runway 36R ILS. Got distracted and did not program FMS correctly; subsequently queried by approach as to why we were not following our clearance. Corrected the error (after approximately 5-10 miles) and landed uneventfully.
