following options:
- Welcome - open the welcome

- Question of the Day -
equivalent of tip of the day in other programs. In SuperMemo, tips are formulated as
simple questions-and-answers. If you decide to introduce some tips into the learning
process, just click the button Remember in the Question of the
Day dialog box. If you think a tip is not worth knowing, click Delete.
Note that tips in SuperMemo are a mini-metaphor of the SuperMemo paradigm!

help material available from SuperMemo Website. If
the file is present and SuperMemo still attempts to connect, choose Tools : Options : SuperMemo
: Help system : Microsoft Help (CHM) (the default option Optimize
will attempt to connect you to update help as soon as CHM file becomes outdated)

short help if size of the file is a consideration)
