Yes, I understand that this is the case and that it was your intention.

OK, good.

Agreed.

Absolutely, KWordQuiz defaults to this file format. The file reading and
writing code is based on your code.

Exactly!

If there is a decision to use KWordQuiz my ambition will be to keep it that
way.

Based on this I propose that KWordQuiz replaces FlashKard. That will give me
an incentive to work on it as well as on KVocTrain and if needed and time
permitting the rest of the kdeedu module.
Thanks,
Peter
