I am very interested in anything you users out there have
to say about my program.  If you think it could be better
or that it is a masterpiece, please write.  If it gets
used I will be very pleased.

               ERASERSPELL INFORMATION

   Eraserspell is intended for the 2 to 8 age group.  It 
is meant to be educational and fun.  A small child who 
may have a difficult time using a keyboard will be able 
to have control of the action.  The main aim of Eraser-
spell is to familiarize the child with the letters of the
alphabet and to connect the word with the object that the
word represents. 
  

INSTRUCTIONS

   The general idea is to uncover the picture inside an
individual rectangle.  This may be automatic or manual.
The user moves the cursor to a rectangle (anywhere on the
screen) and clicks the left mouse button.  If automode is
in effect the picture will be automatically filled in.
If mode is in effect the user moves the mouse around in-
side the rectangle to uncover the picture.  At any time,
when in mode, the user may click the left mouse button and
the entire picture will be filled in.   This process is 
continued until QUIT is selected.  Three word lists are 
included on this disk. They are "TOOLS","HOUSE",and "ANIMALS".


MENUS
 Menus are selected using the right mouse button.
QUIT
 Ends the program.
MODE
 Picking any item from this menu puts the user in manual
 mode.  Each item is a different way of erasing. When in
 manual mode the user moves the cursor around in the rec-
 tangle but does not touch either mouse button.  Click-
 ing the left mouse button will automatically fill in 
 the full picture.  The user must click the left mouse
 button to continue with the program.
AUTOMODE
 Picking any item from this menu puts the user in automatic
 mode.  The picture will be filled in automatically using
 the style selected on the menu.
LISTS
 This menu has the different word lists.  To change to another
 list the user picks the preferred list and then clicks the
 left mouse button. It is best to pick a list as soon as you
 start the program. (before cliking on a box)
VOICE
 This menu changes the voice as shown.  Autofill turns on or
 off the autofill in manual mode.

Enjoy! Kids.
