                                Presents:
                     Spanish <--> English FLASHCARDS

FLASHCARDS is designed to build Spanish vocabulary quickly and
easily.  It is simple to operate so that the student can
concentrate on mastering the lessons.

In each lesson, the student is presented with 5 sets of 20 cards. 
Each set is called a level and the program randomly selects from
the 20 cards, 50 times.  The object is to complete the 50
questions without incurring more that three errors (three
"Strikes" and you're out).  If you get the third strike, the high
score is updated and you start over.  Typically you would start
with level one and repeat it until you have "Successfully"
completed it 10 times.

At level two, you will be presented with a second set of 20
cards.  At level two you work your way through the 2 nd set and
then the first set (you already know these), until you have
completed both sets "Successfully" 10 times.

By the time you get to level 5 you will work your way from level
5 to level 4 to level 3 to level 2 to level 1.  As you progress
through the series, the questions seem easier.


Getting started:

So you start up and are presented with a question, and you
haven't got a clue.  Take a wild guess or just press the enter
key.  FLASHCARD will beep and display the correct "Answer" above
your input.  The cursor then travels to the upper right corner of
the screen where it waits for you to <hit any key>.  Note the
difference between your input and the correct answer and then
bump a key for the next question.

You will likely strike out 10 times or more before you complete
the set successfully.  When you make a error, the question will
repeat after a few times.  To start try to get the first letter
of the answer correct and then a few more letters correct on
succeeding tries.


Review:

When you have mastered lesson 1 continue with lesson 2.  I like
to go back and review all previous lessons after completing a
lesson.  The repetition and review will quickly make these words
yours to command.






Finally:

At startup you will be given two options.  The first is the level
(1 - 5) and the second is whether you want Spanish or English
input.  If you are a beginner, the English input will be a bit
easier.  You should however alternate Spanish and English input
until you master the cards in both modes.

The only other thing you need to know is how to get out of the
program if you want to return to the operating system.  That's
easy, press <CTRL e> followed by enter.


Shareware:

Shareware gives you a chance to "Try before you Buy."  If you are
like me you probably download a dozen programs for every one that
ends up to be useful.  If you don't find this program useful
please give it to a friend.  If on the other hand you find
yourself using it after a month, you are expected to register it.
