Examiner v1.0 (Noware)
"Examiner is the best program ever made, it is real, hard hitting,
mindboggling, outstanding life like, ultra useful and a total MUST.
In short I couldn't have made anything better myself."
- The Author
EACH FUNCTION EXPLAINED:
» OPEN - Can be used to load files.
» ASK - A requester will pop up, in which you can state the range
of words that you wish to practice. You may choose all
words by pressing the All-gadget.
RANDOM - If you apply this function, the program will
find a word, within your range, at random and
question you.
ATTEMPT(S) - If you want to get more than one attempt to
answer correctly, then you may type in the
number of attempts in this gadget.
» HELP - When you are stuck (in a crack in the ground, under a
giant rock and can't move, with no hope of rescue,)
you can press this gadget to get help. Each time you
press it a new letter from the word will be shown.
» SKIP - Is used to skip words you do not want to practice.
» MISSPELT - You can practice solely in the words that you
misspeled last time you were asked.

revealed.
Some moments later ...
From Cli: Just type : Examiner or Examiner <FILENAME>
