>I'm on a roll giving these suggestions so here's one >more! =) >One thing which turned me off vtrain at first was >this. I installed vtrain as normal, then I went to the >site with the free flashcards and downloaded a set to >the desktop. I then opened the .vok file. This is what >most beginning users (some who don't know computers >well) will do. Vtrain gave me this message: > >"Error: the desk c:\program >files\vtrain\data\n-es_~1.vok could not be loaded. >is it in the working directory at all? >Check its presence, your access privileges, etc. >-search for file....." > >I went to search, tried to open the file again and got >the message that vtrain could only handle files in the >working director. > >Now, to someone like me, after looking around the >program and reading the help, I can understand why >that is the case and simply move the file there. >However, for a beginning user, it might be difficult >for them to understand that in order to open a file, >they must move it into a specific directory such as >vtrain\data. Also, the message doesn't state clearly >that this is what the person must do, and the person >might get frustrated trying to solve the problem. > >I think the first message would be clearer something >like this: >"You have tried to open a flashcard deck which is not >in the working directory.

Thank you and >good work with the program. =)
