WHAT TO STUDY

There are two types of software involved--this hypertext manual meant to be used with a Web browser (such as the one clicked on with the Internet icon on your deskpad if you are using Windows) and a set of programs designed to be run on a PC with Microsoft Explorer browser. Move through the manual at your own pace, but make sure you practice--and practice extensively--with the programs and drills.
