I am very interested in anything you users out there have
to say about my program. If you think it could be better
or that it is a masterpiece, please write. If it gets
used I will be very pleased.
Thanks

ERASERSPELL INFORMATION
Eraserspell is intended for the 2 to 8 age group. It
is meant to be educational and fun. A small child who
may have a difficult time using a keyboard will be able
to have control of the action. The main aim of Eraser-
spell is to familiarize the child with the letters of the
alphabet and to connect the word with the object that the
word represents.
INSTRUCTIONS
The general idea is to uncover the picture inside an
individual rectangle. This may be automatic or manual.
The user moves the cursor to a rectangle (anywhere on the
screen) and clicks the left mouse button. If automode is
in effect the picture will be automatically filled in.
If mode is in effect the user moves the mouse around in-
side the rectangle to uncover the picture. At any time,
when in mode, the user may click the left mouse button and
the entire picture will be filled in. This process is
continued until QUIT is selected. Three word lists are
included on this disk. They are "TOOLS","HOUSE",and "ANIMALS".
MENUS
Menus are selected using the right mouse button.
QUIT
Ends the program.
MODE
Picking any item from this menu puts the user in manual
mode. Each item is a different way of erasing. When in
manual mode the user moves the cursor around in the rec-
tangle but does not touch either mouse button. Click-
ing the left mouse button will automatically fill in
the full picture. The user must click the left mouse
button to continue with the program.
AUTOMODE
Picking any item from this menu puts the user in automatic
mode. The picture will be filled in automatically using
the style selected on the menu.
LISTS
This menu has the different word lists. To change to another
list the user picks the preferred list and then clicks the
left mouse button. It is best to pick a list as soon as you
start the program. (before cliking on a box)
VOICE
This menu changes the voice as shown. Autofill turns on or
off the autofill in manual mode.
Enjoy! Kids.
