An index to the lessons is provided by clicking the button in the left margin. Each "lesson" file is linked from a corresponding entry in the index. Simply click any entry to download the file to your hard drive or to open it to your desktop.  All lessons are available here in a common word processing  format called Rich Text Format (.rtf).

The 5-digit numbers that accompany the text throughout the lessons indicate the image number on the APS Plant Disease Video Image Resource (videodisc). Image numbers also accompany many of the definitions in the glossary. These numbers can be used to access the videodisc images by using a key pad on a remote control for a videodisc player or by producing bar codes for each image number and using a laser pen.  Information on hardware and bar coding software is provided with the videodisc or in the "Hardware" file available by clicking the button at left.
