That seems useless in the extreme. Is it fixable? Yes, it is fixable. It would be nice if someone did. All the code is in the tar file: http://www.rattlesnake.com/lojban/lojban-flashcard.tar.gz You have the legal right to copy, study, modify, and redistribute it. But I don't think flashcard is bad as is. For example, I just ran flashcard and was given this: Question (english): wedge, x1 is a wedge [shape/form/tool] of material x2 /:/ Answer (lojban): Press SPC if you know the answer, g to give up, or k to skip this question. So if I do *not* know the answer, I press `g' and it tells me the answer: cfine However, if I think I do know the answer, I say it outload and then press the spacebar. At that point, Emacs ask you to Press r if you got it right, w if you got it wrong, or k to skip this question. (By the way, I might add that you can switch back and forth between asking the English or the Lojban, using the `o a' (option alternate) command. (When it is asking in Lojban you see: Question (lojban): klama (kla) Answer (english): Press SPC if you know the answer, g to give up, or k to skip this question. and the answer will be the full English description from the gismu list: come, go x1 come-s/goes to destination x2 from origin x3 via route x4 using means/vehicle x5 /:/ ) -- Robert J.
