WRITING SYSTEMS: Focused on how to configure phonetic/academic orthography and language-based orthography. Includes how to insert special characters and some information about keyboards.

TEXTS & WORDS: Focused on using these features in Texts & Words for analysis. This includes concordance, morpheme analysis (breaking down words into morphemes in interlinear texts) [more?]  

GRAMMAR, NOTEBOOK, and LISTS: Focused on exploring the other three menus in FLEx. Building a simple grammar, such as inputting phonemes and rules, using the notebook menu as scratch paper and using Lists to generate thematic word lists.
