I.  Message from the Author

Welcome to the Word Translator! I am very pleased you have
decided to review this program to see if it fits you needs for
the registered version. This particular version of the Word
Translator will allow you to the words you type from English to
French (Shareware version does not have a French to English
dictionary. you create!). I have decided to develope the program
this way in order for you to be able to see how simple it is to
develop your own dictionary.

I have worked very hard on this program. I hope you find it
useful. I have a much larger dictionary Eng./Fre. Fre./Eng. ready
to be sent to you. To recieve these dictionaries, I highly
recommend that you register this program. By doing this you will
receive the latest version of the program, larger dictionary,
serialized diskettes with YOUR NAME on them, also your name will
appear within the Dictionary Status Window. In other words,
register the program and you will receive personalized diskettes
and program!

Now, this program will be as good as the suggestions you send to
me. The more suggestions, the better the program may become. As
far as I know this is the only word translation program available
as Shareware. The ultimate goal of this program is to be able to
translate sentences, instead of words and phrases. This is still
a long ways to go, but it will all depend upon the support and
encouragement I receive from the users.


Thanks for your support!!

Rolando.

Main Program Screen

II. MAIN SCREEN

The main screen is divided into three parts: Menu, current Word
Window, and Dictionary Status Window.

The CURRENT WORD WINDOW always displays the current word of the
dicitonary. The word that will be affected is deleting or editing
takes place. You can change the current word by browsing through
the dicitonary or by using the word movement commands found under
the Word Editor menu title.

The DICIOTNARY STATUS WINDOW contains information about the
current or active dictionary. When the program starts it
automatically activates the English dictionary. Thus the words
ENGLISH DICTIONARY appears after the "Active Dictionary is:" text
line. Other information appears inside this window. The CURRENT
WORD NUMBER: and the TOTAL WORDS IN DICTIONARY: are displayed as
well, this way you will always know how many words are in the
dictionary and what is the current word number.

III. MAIN MENU

The Main Menu is activated by pressing the ALT or F10 keys. If
you have a Microsoft compatible mouse, simply point at the menu
title of choice and click any of the mouse buttons, this will
activate that particular menu.

By pressing the CTRL key and a pre-defined letter (A - Z) you can
have instant access to the menu option rather than having to
travel through the menu structure. For example, CTRL+A will
activate the ADD WORD menu option. Word translator comes with a
set of user pre-defined CTRL keys and they are listed below.
Remember, at any time through the program you can change or
eliminate any or all of the defined CTRL keys through the SET
CONTROL KEYS menu options (Configure menu title).

will be told so. If the number exists you the word with that

the number each word card has will change.

will pop-up with four buttons. Each button is self explanatory.
Try it! You can't harm the program.

do anything. It is here mainly to accompany the following
command.

VIII.I. QUIT - EXIT PROGRAM - Making this menu selection will
present you with the exit screen (sinilar to the welcome screen).
There are two buttons: DO NOT EXIT and YES, EXIT PROGRAM. DO NOT
EXIT will return you to the program. YES, EXIT PROGRAM, will
return you to DOS.



CAUTION!! 

If you press the ESC key, you will also be returned to DOS. If
this happens simply restart the program, type WT and press
return.



DANGER!!!

This should be the ONLY way to end the program. Using the
CTRL+BREAK key combination or simply turning off the machine
without properly exiting the program, places the active
dictionary in danger of becoming corrupted. We recommend making
backups of the dictionaries to another directory or to floppies.
Future versinos of this program will have Backup and Restor menu
options available. It depends on you and your suggestions.
