Leerzaam 10.0 - Manual

	Leerzaam 10.0 is a program to learn foreign words with. In this 
manual, I shall give a short description of the program.
	The idea behind Leerzaam is that after the words have been entered, 
the words can be learned at different ways. When the questions of the program 
are answered correct, the words are known. The languages that Leerzaam can do 
are German, French, English, Russian and Portuguese. Other languages will be 
included, when I've enough knowledge about the alfabet and special characters.
	First, the words have to be entered. This can be done using option 1 
from the main menu. Selecting from a menu can be done using the arrow keys, or 
by typing the number/letter behind the option. After option 1 is selected, the 
langage can be choosen. This version can do Other, German, English, French, 
Russian, Portuguese. The language 'other' can be used for any other language 
or science, but there are no special keys definied. After having selected the 
language, the enter screen appears. Here can the foreign words, and its 
translations be entered. When a mistake is made, and the enter key has not 
been pressed, it can be corrected using the arrow keys, backspace and delete. 
These keys can be used everywhere in Leerzaam. If you want to quit fast, 
without saving the words, you can use the end key, which also works in other 
parts of Leerzaam. When the enter key was pressed and something was not 
correct entered, it can be corrected using the home key. The program then asks 
with word should be searched for, and if it is a foreign or an English word. 
Then the program searches the word, and the mistake can be corrected. If 
you're ready entering words, you can enter an empty line and the program asks 
if the wordlist should be saved. Then the program asks name, book and part of 
the wordlist. After, the program asks if it must use standard or an own 
description. This description can be seen when opening a file using the file 
selector. When no standard name is used, the standard description can also not 
be used.
	After having entered the words, they can be checked. This can be done 
using option 2 of the main menu. This option shows the words, and asks if they 
should be corrected. After having done all words, the program asks if it 
should save the corrections. When you answer yes, the wordlist is saved again. 
This way of checking your words is handy when all words must be checked, but, 
when a specific word must be corrected, it isn't handy to go through all 
words. That's the reason I added option 3 from the main menu. This option asks 
which word should be corrected.
	Option 4 makes you learn the words. The computer asks how many words 
should be asked, and makes that number of questions. The computer does not 
look which words have already been asked, so it can happen two words are asked 
after eachother. This isn't bad, because a word can often better be learned 
when it is answered correct some times, by watching above.
	Option 5 lets you configure Leerzaam: which language, colors, 
accentmode, printer, etc.
	Option 6 can convert wordlists from other versions of Leerzaam. Since 
version 9.0 the way of saving has not been changed, so wordlists of version 
9.0 can normally be used on version 10.0.
	Option 7 makes it possible to glue different wordlists together. It 
sometimes happens that there must be learnt some wordlists, and then it is 
handy to glue them together and learn them as one wordlist.
	With option 8, words can be added to a wordlist. It sometimes happens 
that some words were forgotten and now it is possible to add them.
	With option 9 a wordlist can be printed. Other, French, English and 
German can be printed on any printer, but for Portuguese and Russian a 
printerdriver (lzd file) is needed. By the Leerzaam package there is a driver 
for a 8- and 24-pins matrixprinter.
	With option A a new version of Leerzaam can be installed. It is not 
neccesary to run the installation program of the new version, because it can 
be installed from the old version too.
	Option B is another way of learning words. This option keeps asking 
questions, and only when a question is answerred correctly the word won't be 
asked anymore. The option stops when all questions have been answerred 
correctly.
	Option C asks all words one time, and remembers which questions have 
been answered correctly and which wrong. After all questions, the program asks 
if it should save the unknown words as a seperate lesson, so you can learn 
only the unknown words.
	Option D is a joke: hangman.
	Using option E a word can be searched for, and then the program gives 
the translation. This is handy when you need a translation, without searching 
in the wordlist.
	When you use the accentmode, it is easier to type special characters. 
For example, to get an �, you can type quotes, and then an u, without using 
any ALT or CTRL code.
	The program is multilangual: another language can be installed. By the 
packet, two languages are included: Dutch and English. I've included a program 
named 'SRC2LZL' too, which makes it possible to write your own 
languagedrivers. The easiest way to do this is to take an SRC file, and 
rebuild it. When this is done, and SRC2LZL was ran, the new languagedriver is 
existing.
	I hope you like Leerzaam. When you do, please register. This costs 
DFL 25,- or US$ 20,-. When you register, you'll get your registration name and 
number, which accelerates the starting procedure. You can also send your 
comments on the registration form, which can be used on the next version. 
You've only to register one version, because the registration name and -number 
will not change in next versions. For more information about registering: read 
the ENG.REG file.
