Thanks Peter, that's really useful to know that. I've done some more
cards and now they seem to be operating by that principle. I think
maybe that the first few cards I had, had only just been re-learned
after a lapse, and so there is some other overriding bit that said the
new interval had to be equivalent to the scheduled interval, not the
actual interval.

Anyway I think I'll go down the holding the space bar route all the
same. Although I'll probably forget a lot of cards in between now and
the next repetition, it should space out my cards a lot more, and I'll
be able to start over with a much lighter study load.
