THIS PROGRAM IS CAREWARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF LEAL SCHOOL.
(I really, truly, fully expect YOU to donate to this worthy cause)

     Rebus Writer allows the user to design and print rebuses, a 
kind of code in which pictures and symbols are used to represent 
words.  The HELP files in the program should be sufficient to get 
you started, but just in case you have trouble interpreting my 
artwork, the following pictures are provided for use in rebuses:

HAT     DEER    HEN     WATCH   WITCH   EEL     CAN     PHONE   OIL
WELL    TIE     BUS     INK     EYE     ANT     AX      NOSE    SAW
BEE     KEY     RING    WOOD    OAR     HAND    KNOT    AWL     TREE
STOP    RIGHT(TURN) UP  DOWN    LEFT    SUN     STAR    PEN(CIL) ICE   

Bear in mind, however, that a picture can stand for many words, 
and if the picture of an eel looks like a snake--or a worm, for 
that matter--to you, it probably will to your recipient as well.
     My sister, Kathleen Anderson, is a rubber stamp dealer who 
features rebus stamp sets in her designs.  It is to her that I 
owe my knowledge of and interest in rebuses.  Rebus design and 
interpretation tax one's thinking skills as well as one's 
understanding of English, but spelling does NOT count!  
        This .PRG is CAREWARE. I hope you will enjoy this program
thoroughly!  If you do, PLEASE take the time to send a check to:

          LEAL SCHOOL ST FUND
          c/o 607 WEST ILLINOIS STREET
          URBANA, ILLINOIS  61801

For your convenience, the program will print a donation form on 
your printer when you click the HELP option (and your printer is 
on and loaded with paper).
        Your tax-deductible contribution will make the time I've
spent programming Rebus Writer worthwhile. Thank you.
