        This program is designed to help you learn Katakana. It can be 
        used in two different modes,  learn mode  and  test  mode.  In 
        learn  mode  the program acts like a deck of flash cards.  You 
        are given the opportunity to think of the way to pronounce the 
        letter, and can then check your answer by using the space bar.  
        In test mode,  you are given multiple choice answers for  each 
        letter  or  group  of  letters,  and  the program records your 
        errors in a file that you can view by using the  "see  errors" 
        option or "error".

        We recommend that you spend plenty of time with the learn mode 
        before   you  attempt  the  test  mode,   so  as  to  not  get 
        discouraged.  You can change from test mode to  practice  mode 
        and back again by using number 8 in the menu,  and hitting the 
        space bar.  Finally,  you can use the words option to try your 
        new  skills  at  real  words  taken  directly  from  signs and 
        magazines.  Here,  hit the space bar once to view the  spelled 
        out Katakana, and again to see the english.
