9) Tips
	•If you have the old ROM 1.00, there is a bug in the random number generator. Therefore in the MCQ quiz, the first question picked will always be number 1! There is nothing I can do about this, apart from advise you to get the ROM update.
	•You can share MCQ5 Question files with friends. Just send the Question file via Infra-red, and they can open it by double-clicking on it!
	•If you have a question with less then 5 stems in it, you can leave the N/A-True-False bit for the other stems on N/A, and those stem won't be included in the scoring.
	•By clicking on the clock-face, you can access Info-panels on your Psion. (Contact Jason Kneen for updates to Coolbar! - See "Thanks!")
