Sorry to clog up everyone's terminal with personal mail, but I can't seem
to get this message to go to Ray Wakeland in a more direct fashion.

Hi, Ray!

Yes, I did use a spreadsheet...Excel, in fact.  Then I copied them from
Excel into the graphics program (Canvas) that I used to create the test
items.  They go in as object oriented graphics.  In other words, each wedge
is separate which makes it an easy matter to shade the one corresponding to
the correct answer.  I think it is interesting to note how much easier it
is to interpret the pie charts than it is to scan a table of percentages
for each item.  There must be something to this "pattern recognition" stuff
the psychologists talk about!

Bob
