Fuentes Computer Study Modules

The Fuentes Computer Study Modules is a program provided by the publisher of the Fuentes textbook to help you practice, or "drill", the vocabulary and grammar presented in the book.

To start this program (ONLY from a computer directly connected to the LRC server, not from the web), doubleclick on the
CSM icon on the Up to the top


How to use the Fuentes Computer Study Modules

The Fuentes Computer Study Modules is an old-style DOS program. That means that it is not as user-friendly as a Windows program. You will need to follow these instructions carefully just to get started. Don't worry, this will only seem complicated the first time you do it:

  1. Doubleclick on the FUENTES CSM icon on the title screen to go away
  2. Press the [Enter] key (to accept the C for color monitor)
  3. Press the [H] key followed by the [Enter] key (to select hard-disk)
  4. Type c:\fuentes (to select the place where the fuentes program is found)
  5. Press the [F1] key to accept the configuration
  6. Wait 5 seconds to get past another title screen
  7. Now you are at the Main Menu. Enter the number that corresponds to the chapter you want to study, followed by the [Enter] key.
  8. Enter the number that corresponds to the topic you want to study, followed by the [Enter] key.

To exit the program:

  1. Press the [ESC] key until you get to the red window asking you "Do you want to quit? (Y or N)".
  2. Press the [Y] key followed by the [Enter] key.
  3. Click once on the [X] at the top right corner to close the DOS window.

To type accented letters and other symbols in the Fuentes CSM, you cannot use the regular method used on LRC computers (that's because this is not a Windows program). Rather, you must use the following key combinations:

  1. vowel + slash (/) = accented vowel (e.g. a/ = á)
  2. n + tilde (~) = ñ
  3. vowel + star (*) = vowel with two dots on top (e.g. u* = ü)
  4. ? + ? = ¿
  5. ! + ! = ¡
  6. For help, press the [F10] key
