a1. Look at Picture, Read Word- This is a vocabulary review.  
The ENTER  KEY replaces the old pictures with new  pictures,  
and   the  arrow  keys  move the menu box which  causes  the  
status  line  to display  the Text of the selected  picture. 

b2.  Given Word, Match to Picture- This is a learning  game.  
The DISPLAY  will not change until the picture that  matches 
the  word is  selected. When a Correct Selection is made,  a 
random  Musical selection  is played until a key is pressed.

c3.    Given   Picture,   Match  to  Word-  This   is    the  
complementary  learning   game  to choice b.  A  Picture  is 
displayed and the  arrow  keys  are  used to toggle  through 
9-choices  which  are  displayed  caption  by   caption   in 
the  status area at  the  bottom  of  the screen.  When  the 
correct  selection is made,a Random Musical Reward is  given 
as reinforcement. 

MEHELP  is  available by pressing F1 at almost any point  in  
the program

The  opening  screen  offers  the   choice  of  Three-Second 
Languages  and  a Mother Tongue. As  it is  now  configured, 
"METOO" uses English as the Mother Tongue, but this  can  be  
over-ridden by changing the  external  ascii  file "PICLIST" 
which  is  the dictionary of words and  picture  names.  The 
opening  screen  and  menu screens  are  external  files  of  
garden  variety   CGA  Resolution  .PCX  type  and  can   be  
editted    or  alternately   replaced   by   either   BSAVED   
images   or   ZSOFT PCPAINTBRUSH  files,  again allowing for  
open   customization   of METOO.EXE.  

We  made   the small graphics panels primarily using  Eugene
Ying's   PCPG  and  Later we colorated  them  in  Logitech's  
PaintShow Plus.  Final processing to BSAVED GRAPHICS  arrays 
was  done  using my UTILITY FRAG.EXE. The program will  also 
accept  the GRAPHICS arrays of  the type  used  by TURBO  or 
MICROSOFT  C's getimage()  and  putimage() should  these  be 
saved to disc in raw form.

Hardware  Requirements :  IBM  PC or compatible
Display Types: CGA and Compat and HERCULES or EQUAL
