Preface:
--------

This program is in a beta state at the moment. I've released it to allow you
to send me comments, bugreports and feature requests.

How to use:
-----------

MasterMinder shall help you learning stuff, i.e. foreign languages.
It's another of these flash card applications. In opposite to most of them,
it includes a ranking of correct-known things. Whenever you decide that the
answer was correct, the flash card will be moved behind and the date of its
next presentation will be increase.
What does it mean? Each flash card has a counter for correct answers. Correct
answers increase this counter, wrong answers decrease it. Depending on this
counter the next presentation date will be calculated. Flash cards which are
not correctly known so far are presented every day. To remind you learning
your lesson, an appointment is set into the datebook application for the next
stack of cards to repeat.

Flash cards can be created either by using "LookUp"->"New" or, more convenient,
using a desktop computer to create a Memo entry and import it after an hotsync
into MasterMinder. Please see the example to understand the format used for
import from Memo application.
(short: "question1","answer1"\n"question2","answer2"\n...)

I would recommend to add Memo entries for each lesson and import a new lesson
whenever you knew almost all questions from the last lesson at least once.

MasterMinder has a learning mode and a testing mode. The learning mode presents
you one after one each flash card to repeat today. The cards are randomly
selected and question and answer are presented automaticly.
The testing mode asks you randomly selected questions and you should say the
answer loud and write it down into the field right below the question. After
tipping the question or pressing the "Down"-hardbutton the correct answer is
displayed. Compare with your knowledge and tap either correct or wrong.
You can also use the "Databook"- and the "phonebook"-hardbutton.
If you want to let the question in the today-pool of flash cards, press
"Keep it" or use the "Down"-hardbutton.

Remember, you can leave the modes using the menu entry "Stop".
