Using Card Flash
================
Card Flash is a fairly simple program to use and has extensive
on-line help available. To create a simple flash card stack, first use the
File-New menu command. This will delete all cards and return the setup to the
defaults. Next use the Cards-Setup menu command and set the general setup to
"Simple". Also determine the orientation and the front and back colors. Next,
use the Cards-Edit menu command to "add" cards to the stack, typing in text
for the front and back of each card. The final step is to run the stack using
Cards-Run menu command (Ctrl+R for short), using a Card Flash stack as you
would use normal, paper flash cards. To save the stack, use the File-Save
menu command and type in a name up to eight characters. To see a more complex
card stack, open the sample card stack CAPITALS.CRD by using the File-Open
menu command. This card stack contains countries and capitals, some of which
have bitmaps of the country's flags. Explanation of how to create more
complex card stacks is contained in the CFLASH.HLP file which can be accessed
from the Card Flash program itself.
