1920 Morse Academy is based on Computer Assisted Instruction concepts from AEA's Morse University. The author thanks AEA, a company dedicated to support of amateur radio, for their help and encouragement in developing this program. Operation is menu driven with a single key selecting the desired session: (L)earning: Selects characters, and provides learning mode. (R)eceiving game: An interactive game to teach the Morse code. (E)ndurance game: An interactive game to increase copying skills. (P)roficiency: Generates actual code tests to improve skills. (M)orse keyboard tutor: An interactive game to develop keyboard skills. (K)eyboard: Used to send Morse practice text from disk files. (G)enerate examinations: Creates random tests of practice and testing (W)eightings: Varies the frequency of occurrence of characters. (V)iew sessions: Displays prior session results. (O)ptions: Allows selection of tone, screen, and other options (D)OS return Proper way to terminate and SAVE CHANGED OPTIONS. The ESC key serves as a STOP RUN key. Push it to return from a sub-session to a session, and again to the main menu. The ALT key is a European shift key, shown on the last of the screen of some menus as an UP-ARROW. The F10 key prints a screen. The F1 key can be used AT ANY TIME to display HELP. A short help prompt is ALWAYS shown at the bottom of the screen. 1600 Morse Academy will support muliple students, and remember option settings for each. Seperate OPTIONS and LOG files are maintained for each student. The student name is typed on the command line when executing MA: MA student_name The student name can contain lower or upper case alphabetic characters and spaces. Lower case characters are treated as equal to their corresponding upper case character. If a new student name is typed, MA will give you the option to enter the new name into its student list, or exit from the program. An existing student can be deleted using the D option: MA/D student_name If the name is not present, the request will rejected and MA exited. If the name is present, the student will be asked to confirm deletion. If a delete request is accepted, the student name is removed from the active list, AND HIS OR HER OPTIONS AND LOG FILES WILL BE DELETED. (As with all DOS files NORTON's undelete or DOS 5's UNDELETE command could restore them).
