  118.  ▄█▀▀▀▀▀█▄ .∙      So, in summary, ~W~ICAITeach~Y~I helps us write tests which

  121.   │█▀▀▀█│          Your approach to learning ~W~ICAITeach~Y~I depends on your
  122.   └┬███┬┘            learning patterns.  Some of us want to experiment, others
  123. ▒▒▒▒ ■ ▒▒▒▒          want to know exactly what to expect before we do anything.
  124.                      But, I suspect most of use are in the middle somewhere.

  151.            If you've written a program or two in ~C~ITW~Y~I you already understand
  152.           the basic concepts of ~C~ICAITeach~Y~I.
  153. 
  154.         Instead of writing a ~C~ITW~Y~I script you merge template files into an
  155.        editor, write the questions and save the file.  That is your test.
  156.       See ~C~ISteps~Y~I on ~W~IQuick Reference~Y~I printout, and ~C~IJump Start~Y~I.
  157. 
  158.        If you understand ~C~IJump Start~Y~I start writing your test.  The first
  159.         screen of each chapter has a ~C~IPreview~Y~I which I suggest you scan.
  160. 
  161.           When you finish this tutorial you will conclude that 99% of what
  162.            you need to know is on the two page ~W~IQuick Reference~Y~I.

  176.              What you do next is up to you.
  177. 
  178.            If you're a beginner you should start with the Chapter 1 and
  179.             continue with the tutorial until you can do ~C~IJump Start~Y~I.
  180. 
  181.         If you understand the basic elements of ASCII files, print
  182.          ~W~I{QIKREF.DOC~Y~I, and ~W~I{NUMAID.DOC~Y~I; examine ~W~I{4TYPES.CHP~Y~I
  183.         in your editor and start writing.   Optionally you may wish
  184.        to print the 40 page manual {MANUAL.DOC for reference.
  185. 
  186.         If you are not quite sure print ~W~IQIKREF.DOC~Y~I, and ~W~I{NUMAID.DOC~Y~I,
  187.            then go on to Chapter 1 of the tutorial.
  188. 
  189.            Just as soon as you understand most of the elements of ~W~I{QIKREF.DOC~Y~I,
  190.               abandon the tutorial and write a question or two and test your
  191.                test at DOS, as specified in ~C~ISteps~Y~I, ~W~IQuick Reference~Y~I.
