Scrollbar
This gives you the option to turn the scrollbar on and off (which will speed up scrolling), choose whether to have it on the left or the right of the screen, and alter it's size.
(obviously if you turn the scrollbar off the other options will not have an effect)
Table
Choose how big the two main columns are in the edit mode. e.g. to have them the same size choose 50%, to hide column 1 select 0% or to hide column 2 select 100%.
Editing
This gives you the option to remove the confirmation dialog that sometimes appears when you are adding questions. This confirmation dialog appears when a question is entered with no answer (or an answer with no question)
There are many uses for this program and here are just a few:
Obviously it can be used to learn vocab e.g French or German.
It can be used to learn equations e.g. Physics or Chemistry.
It can be used to learn anything which has a question and up to four answers!
You can also use TestMe as a database program, e.g. for Web site addresses.

2. The Edit Mode
This is what the various columns on the main screen tell you:
The left hand column is the question column.
The second column is the first answer to that question
The third column tells you whether there is an answer and if so how many there are.

If you press a Key (a-e, 0-9) you will be taken to the next entry beginning with that letter.
Once you have made your test you should then go to the Learn mode and Learn it!
In this mode you will be repeatedly asked the questions in a random order.
If you decide you want to reverse the Questions and Answers so you can learn your stuff in the reverse order (e.g. English to French rather than French to English) just choose Qu -> Ans or Ans -> Qu from the menu bar.
Also if you are sure you know the answer to one of the questions and you no longer want to be asked it, just press Delete and it will not appear in the test until you switch back to Edit mode, or reset the test by selecting Reset from the menu.
To do this you will need to save the Series 3 file as a text file (e.g. as a CSV file). You can then use File | Import Data Function in TestMe to import this text file.
If you have trouble performing this conversion, please email me and I can give you further advice (or do it for you).
I would have made this program shareware, however I think there is too much shareware around for Epoc 32 already, so I decided not to add to the collection. Therefore:

It is possible to protect this information from being altered by selecting the "Protect" button in the File Properties Dialog and entering a code.
Once the information has been protected Testme will ask you to enter the code before allowing you to make changes to the File Properties.
