Challenge Sets
=============
Challenge sets are individual Scholastic Challenge documents. They can be loaded from within the program (see the online help) or they can be double-clicked (which will open them or launch Scholastic Challenge and open them).
Important Note on Dimmed Load Challenge Set Menu Item
Loading a Challenge set causes the Load Challenge Set menu item to dim, which indicates that it has been disabled. This is a safety feature to prevent users from loading more than one Challenge Set at a time. When the Challenge Set is unloaded, using the Unload menu item, the menu will be enabled again. Users should avoid trying to circumvent this safety feature as loading multiple Challenge Sets is likely to result in many errors.
Important Note on Dimmed CS Editor Menu
======================================
When Scholastic Challenge is running and a Challenge Set is not loaded, the CS Editor Menu will be dimmed. This is because there is nothing available for editing. Loading a Challenge set causes the Load Challenge Set Menu to cease to be dimmed, which indicates that it has been enabled. This is a safety feature to prevent users from attempting to edit something that is not there, which would cause a variety of errors.
Important Note on Names
======================
The name of Scholastic Challenge should not be altered in any way. If the program is renamed, then it will not work properly and errors will arise.
