Looking again at the add new card dialog box I noticed that the tool
tips may be a bit confusing to a new user.  They mention the interval
being too long, just right, etc.  This really doesn't make any sense
when adding a new card, obviously, because there has been no interval
yet.  I never noticed this till now, though.  But I read all the
documentation on the website before beginning.  Would it be possible
to have different tool tips for that dialog?

Another thought: I notice that when I import cards, seeing the card
for the first time, the stats bar plugin predicts that a grade 5 will
set the initial interval to 5 days, grade 4 to 4, 3 to 3, and 2 to 1
day.  I don't know how accurate the prediction is, but I wonder if new
cards could just be treated like imported cards so no initial grade
was needed.  I often have a hard time judging how well I remember a
card as soon as I create it and I like how the imported cards behave.
It might lessen the learning curve a bit.  Just a thought.

I know there is good documentation on the Mnemosyne website and that
lots of apps are moving in the direction of putting all or most of the
documentation on line.  Personally I do most of my computing off line
and wish the help was built in.  Another advantage of having the help
built in is that you can have context sensitive help.  Like in the
create a new card dialog.  And the edit deck dialog.  Many features
depend on a right click, and although this creates a great clean
interface, I think a large portion of users would not think to do
that.

Keep up the great work!  Thanks as always.
