                   Using the program Periodic

	Periodic Table with information for every element.  A 
scrambled periodic table can be created and unscrambled when 
given clues regarding the scrambled elements.  Designed for 
chemistry students of various levels.  Entertaining and 
educational.

Installing Periodic on your hard drive.
     Start windows and click on Start in the lower left hand corner.  Click on Run then type and enter A:\install. If the source files are in a different drive then substitute the drive\path for A:\.  Install will copy the program files to your hard drive, create a Program Group for Periodic, and create the appropriate icons.

Using Periodic:
     To obtain information regarding any element click the right
mouse button on the element.

     From the Periodic Table menu a copy of the periodic table can 
be printed by selecting Print, the elements scrambled by selecting
Scramble Elements, or the program exited by selecting Exit(Alt-x).  

     When the elements are scrambled a periodic table will appear
containing question marks.  Before the scrambled chart appears the
user will be asked if a new scrambled chart or an existing one is
desired.  Select Yes for a new one and No to retrieve an old one.  
If a saved one is desired select the file from the File Open Dialog
box that appears.  Enter the password previously used to access the file.  If the password is incorrect it can be overridden by pressing alt-p when the "Password Invalid" dialog box appears. (this information is for instructor use only).   When starting a new scrambled chart names can be entered which will identify students that have worked on a given chart.  The names can be changed later from the Edit menu. 
     To obtain a clue regarding an element click the right mouse button on the question mark. The question mark can then be dragged by depressing the left mouse button, dragging the mark to the spot on the table where the element belongs, and releasing the left mouse button.  If the location of the element is correct the user is notified and the element information displayed on the table. If not the user is notified.  The user has three chances to place the element correctly.  After the third incorrect try the element will be relocated somewhere else on the chart.  
     To exit the scrambled puzzle select Display UnScrambled Chart from the Periodic Table Menu. The user will be asked if it is desired to save the current scrambled chart to disk. If so select Yes and enter the name of the file and the password when asked.
