        1. HOW TO USE

   In the upper text box you will see a word
   with the letters in the wrong order. Your
   task is to type the word with the letters 
   in the correct order in the lower text box.
        When you think you have it right press
   ENTER or click the CHECK button. If your 
   answer was correct then a "tick" icon will
   be shown in the centre of the window and
   pressing ENTER again or clicking NEXT will 
   place the next Jumbled word in the upper 
   textbox.
        If your answer was incorrect then a
   "cross" icon will appear in the centre of
   the window and you will be given the 
   opportunity to try again.
        If you get stuck, clicking NEXT will 
   place the next word in the upper text box 
   at all times.
        NOTE: If your jumbled letters are
   "t r a" or some other combination that could
   have multiple correct answers - "rat", "art"
   or "tar" - then the machine will only accept 
   one as the correct answer. This will depend
   on which word from the list was used to 
   derive the "jumbled" letters. ( see How To
   Customize below for an explanation of what
   list I'm talking about ). Abusing your 
   machine because you know "rat" is a real
   word will not help.



        2. HOW TO CUSTOMIZE

   To create the jumbled word for you this programme
   selects a word at random  from a list of words 
   in the file "jumble.txt" and reorders the letters 
   in a random manner. To change the words available
   to the programme you simply have to open up your
   favourite word processor and create your own file
   called "jumble.txt" and use it to replace the 
   original one. (renaming the original one first 
   will allow you to reuse it at a later date)

        IMPORTANT - To create your own "jumble.txt"
   you must put the first word on the first line 
   and it must begin in the first position on the 
   far left of that line. The second word must begin 
   in the first position on the far left of the second
   line. The third word goes in the same place on the 
   third line etc..Keep words short enough to fit on 
   the screen and less than about 20 letters.
     The file must then be saved as a TeXT file with 
   the " .TXT " suffix. 
        This programme is designed to make extremely
   efficient use of memory and you shouldn't have any
   problems with a list of many thousands of words
   but a limit will be reached eventually - and if you
   get an "OUT OF MEMORY" or ""OUT OF RANGE" message 
   while trying to run this programme then you've 
   probably reached that limit.
   


        3. ERROR MESSAGES

     There are only 3 possible causes of error messages;
        1.  A word in "jumble.txt" is too long
        2.  There are too many thousands of words in "jumble.txt"
        3.  YOUR System
