Simple to use. Please try all functions.

You can add your own preset items (or remove) in the
Presets.txt (like your name) with an editor.
Simple click "Settings" button and choose "Edit..."
After changes and saving the file choose "Refresh..."

One hidden option: [Enter] in input line will add
the input line content temporary into the Preset List.

To change or add any data/languages:

- Copy original Data.xls and Data.txt to a safe place
- Open Data.xls (Excel)
- Make your changes
- Save as .xls file (normal)
- Save as .txt file, tab separated

Quiz:

1. Select the language from the combo box.
   Its prefered to select home language, Nato or International.
2. Click "Learn" if you want to see the words you have to guess,
   before running the game.
3. Click "Start"
4. Try to find out all words for the characters which are shown
   in the yellow field.

If you prefer to get help after a failure, pls check Auto-Help.
If you prefer that the program executes the [Enter] key if you
reach the correct word length then check Auto-[Enter].
In both cases you lost 10 points.

Keys:
[Esc]   : = Stop-button
[Delete]: clear input line

The Game-list is stored in the data folder.
You can clear the list simply with an editor.

Limitations
Some languages like Russian can not converted 1:1
because of different alphabet systems.
