The Flash Card Creator displays all the cards of a flash card set in a tabular array.
Each horizontal row of the table represents one card, the left side displays
one side of the card (normally the "Question" side or first side presented to
you in the Flash Card Presenter), the right side shows the flip side
(normally the "Answer" side, or the second side presented to you in the Presenter).
Down both sides
of the table are control buttons which allow you to perform various operations
on the card or on a side of the card.
Each time you add something to a new card (either text by typing into a card side,
or an image or an audio track) a new empty card will be automatically created below it.
