** I guess I don't understand how I can be 16 days late to do an active 
card that the software hasn't shown to me?
I would think that this condition wouldn't really exist at all since if an 
active card would approaching being late, that condition would trigger the 
software  to show it to me?

** Yes, but how is this "easiness" determined?  Is this a function only of 
the 0-5 scoring the last time it was viewed?  Or the time taken to respond 
to the card?

** So this is a count of the number of times a lapse has happened?  Does 
the lapses value affect the easiness value?  And/or does the lapses value 
affect the scheduling of the card?

*** As a user, I can see the count of scheduled cards in the window sill 
lower right and watch that go down to zero.   But how do I know the 
appropriate number of how many more cards to do beyond that ?   This must 
be related to the "Hold XXX non-memorized cards in your hand" value -- but 
how do I know when I have saturated that number?

*** I've always chosen random order simply because I didn't know how the 
software would determine "urgent".  What is the criteria for "urgent"?
