Hello All,

Could you post a description of what you want your program to do from start to finish please Garry. This would be our "definition of the problem" with which we would break it down into smaller problem and solve.
OlDosLover.   
Ok,I may also put a program I have, (for Dos), on Drop Box,
it dosen't run real well,...but it would be a good example,...I am not sure I still have it. It should be ,hopefully later tonight,...I will write a description,...It seems like it is fairly complex, in some ways, but your approach, to break it down,...is good, each stage, probably is not that complicated, I am sure you have seen Clippys, qbasics demo,...I like the "flow", it has, how the first page ,is a index of chapters,..you can either, start at chapt 1, or enter the chapter number....
Then each chapter is also, "pages" or segments,...the only thing I don't particuly like, is he never put in a , "go back" option,...so is one wants to go back to the previous "page" or a previous chapter, the only way is to exit and start again, select the chapter, work your way up to the part you want---
 A similar,...but instead of code, early learning of first, the letters, and numbers,
,simple words, spelling them correctly, and perhaps, toward the end some very basic math,...a small , "music", chapter, where the child can enter the basic notes, and perhaps play a simple tune,..and then of course a simple drawing/paint option,.....Perhaps, it be better, instead of entering a chapter number,  a "click" menu, Letters, Numbers, Words and Spelling, Math, Music, Drawing,... we do have various "draw and paint",. programs,so that would be pretty easy, in away, this is not to bad of a description,....Where is the best place to start ?,...it seems, like the "menu" or index,...Like I mentioned, assumeing the user, is a very young child, and can not hardly read yet,...we will need to also do some "sound tracks",...the idea is, to make it as much possible, something a child, could do, without much if any supervision,.... We have already, been covering alot of the "bits and pieces",...in your lessons , and tuts,.....Unseens GDK, may very well be the better way to go,...for one, the colors, are so much nicer "vivid", etc,....I already have found, it is pretty easy to insert _sndplay ( I think it was, I have sort of forgotten,) but In the catch the Bunny it was real easy to insert the music, useng midi, or wav, it would be relatively easy to make recordings, and put the "voice" in.
 I do have some code that, can make the computer "talk", useing  MS sam,..but the words are not all that clear,...I think recordings would be better.
 I guess this may seem like alot, but there is no hurry---I am still going to take the time, to write, a better description, I probably will have to attach it as a text file, or put it on drop box,......Obviuously, this will take some time, and perhaps, several people, if others get interested,...If we really got ambitous,we could do one ver1, for kindargarden, ages, Later another, more advanced, that also included some very basic codeing lessons, along with, math,...At the moment it almost seems over whelming, and impossible, but this is cause I am a little tired,...I haven't tryd any of your code yet, but will, as soon as I close this, just to explain why I didn't mention any of it,...in this post, I am anxious to see, the one you did for your daughter,...in relation to my grandchildren, and the one about to be born, it will still be a couple of years, before any of them could use this,...So there is lots of time...
from Garry
