======= A word of kindly and well-intentioned advice =======
If you want to be systematic about learning the system . . .
1. Print the DEMO.WP file.
2. Review the DEMO program page by page, with frequent reference to
the printout to see the codes for each page and function.
3. Read the Quick Start instructions and write a small program.
4. Read through the Tutorial.
5. Write a practice program with the help of the DEMO printout and the
Tutorial.
6. Add to that program at least one example of each of the pagetypes,
overlays, bucket routines and contingency branching in order to get
acquainted with the program.
7. Debug that program, then throw it away without showing it to anyone.
8. Begin your first real CBT program.

First Things
===============
> Make backup copies of all diskettes.
> Set up two directories on your hard disk: one for CourseMaster and
another for your CBT programs. Copy all CourseMaster files to the
CourseMaster directory and copy the DRIVER and CONFIG files to
your program directory.
> Prepare a delivery diskette by copying DRIVER.EXE and CONFIG to a
newly formatted diskette. This may or may not be a bootable diskette.
> Be sure to read the section on Management in the Tutorial before you
begin any serious program development.
