                                Presents:
                     Spelling GREMLINS - FLASHCARDS

Congratulations on selecting a PUMA Shareware product.  At PUMA we
are dedicated to producing quality software that is straigh-
forward and easy to use so that the student can concentrate on
mastering the lessons.  You can master the program in less than 5
minutes and will not find lots of switches or options to learn.

Spelling GREMLINS will teach you to spell correctly 100 of the 300
most commonly misspelled words.  It is fashioned around the 
question and answer format of FLASHCARDS.  The word definitions
presented should be treated as memory joggers and not definitions.
A dictionary should be consulted for actual definitions and to
understand the full context of the meanings.


To run the first lesson, enter:  LESSON1
Other lessons are: LESSON2
Documentation: README.TEXT


Getting started:

At startup you will be given a choice of starting level (1 - 5).
Start with level 1 and then select level 2 after mastering it.

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>.

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 or more  times before you complete
the set successfully.  When you make a error, the question will 
repeat after a few times.

In each lesson, the student is presented with 5 sets of 10 cards.
Each set is called a level and the program randomly selects from
the 10 cards, 50 times.  The object is to complete the 50 
questions without incurring more that two 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 10 cards.
At level two you work your way through the 2nd 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.



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.
