Abstract: This program converts a PDP-8 with teletype into a general

learning school, i.e., the program is totally independent of subject matter.

User types a set of cue/response items into core file. Program presents

each cue repetitively, at intervals determined by user's response to the

particular item, until he is able to type the specified response quickly,

accurately and consistently. Includes file edit features, tape read and

punchout of drill items, the capability of systematic review, randomized

comments, randomized use of learner's name, program-assisted typing

with instant feedback and mitigation of non-significant errors during

response.

Restrictions: Requires modification for use on parity terminals

such as most DECwriters and DECscopes.
