User Document

A. Overview

  Name That State for Windows (NTS) is a geography program 
  intended for use by middle grade school students. However it is useful 
  for anyone wanting to learn the geography of the United States. It is 
  programmed to run with Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, and Windows 
  95. It may reside on a floppy disk or hard drive. 

  With NTS you can learn, then test your knowledge about the United 
  States and its capitals. You'll find out when each state came into the 
  union, its' nickname and why it's called that. The program is 
  completely 'menu driven' and has six (6) modes of operation:

  1) Study states - The states are displayed in a random order showing the 
     state capital, date in union, state nickname and how the nickname 
     came to be, and a piece of trivia about the state.

  2) Test on states - A state is highlighted on the US map, and displayed 
     on an inset. The user is then asked to select which state this is from 
     four choices. The states are displayed randomly as are the multiple 
     choice. This state can be put back in the shuffle if desired. If the 
     answer is correct, the state is removed from the shuffle and painted 
     on the US map. A right/wrong score is then displayed. If the 
     answer is wrong, the state is removed from shuffle and saved for 
     review after all 50 states have been presented. In either case the data 
     on each state is displayed when the answer is given (i.e.: capital, date
     in union, etc...).

  3) Test on capitals - This is the same as 'Test on states' mode except the 
     multiple choice is of four (4) different cities.

  4) Show states - A state name is given and the user selects that state 
     from the U.S. Map. A mouse is required for this mode.

  5) Show capitals - A state capital is given and the user selects the state 
     with that capital from the U.S. Map. A mouse is required for this 
     mode.

  6) Review - This mode is entered automatically if any answer was 
     incorrect. A review of all missed states or capitals is presented.

B. Sound
   Sound support is currently managed through the PC's internal speaker.
   Support for sound cards will be added in future versions. The PC 
   speaker has NO volume control except for frequency. Some PC's are 
   very loud and are more of a nuisance than a help. Therefore, if you wish 
   to turn off some or all of your sound a function has been provided.

   There are 3 different sound controls in NTS, as follows:
   1. Wrong answer ----- is a warble
   2. Correct answer --- is a ripple
   3. Music ------------ National Anthem and more

   Each sound has its' own on/off switch and is accessed from the first 
   screen or the main menu. The national anthem is played at start up only. 
   Pressing any key will stop the music.
