Beginning
1) Begin by Choosing your flash card file when the Flash Card File Chooser window comes up (or go to File > Card File Chooser to open the window).
2) You can either start by hitting next (this defaults to the first group of five words), or go to File > Options to choose your question options and answer options, or go to File > Word Manager to Manage which words you want to use.
Card File Chooser
This Panel manages your card files. These files are written in xml format and are editable. The average user will not have to edit any of these files. All that is required of this panel is to choose the desired Flash Card File.
Options Panel
The options panel determines which keys you use for your questions and answers. Meaning, if you choose french_mp3 and pronunciation for your question options, when the next card shows the mp3 sound will play as well as the pronunciation of the word will show. If you choose English, when the answer is shown the english word will appear in the answer text box.
Currently mp3s are only supported in the Questions text box. This will change in later versions.
Word Manager
The word manager determines which words are in the queue to be gone through. You can choose any number of groups of five, or select individual elements to add to the "To Use" list. You can also select the chapter currently used.
