Cardhopper and the index card method

Cardhopper is based on the index card method. You still will need to prepare questions, answers and information; not on index cards anymore but in a Cardhopper readable text file. Each section (question, answer and information) in the file represents one index card. One example could look like:

Question	What is the captial of Honduras?
Answer	Tegucigalpa
Information	a) Dublin b) Tegucigalpa c) Caracass b) Kingston

Cardhopper provides to text fields, the upper one shows the questions, die lower one can be switched between answer and info. As default info is shown as the answer you should know!

The information field can be used for additional info (such as multiple choice question, grammatical infos in case of vocabulary and so on...) or just left empty.

Cardhopper provides two additional, not visible boxes 0 and 6. As in box 1 should not be too many questions at a time and you might want to prepare more than visible in box 1. Just put them all in box 0 and load them as wanted into box 1. On the other hand side, after box 5 all questions are supposed to be learned and "disappear". For them not to be lost they will be stored in box 6 and can be brought back manually.
