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
