Review.

Choose the from sphere of the relationship you wish to handle by clicking its button. This will cause the set of relationships shown graphically to reduce to those which apply to the selected from sphere. At the same time, the buttons for any to spheres which are not related to the chosen from sphere will be disabled. Click a to Sphere to choose a related sphere. If you delay more than five seconds you will be prompted to click a to button to identify the other half of the relationship. Respond to the prompt by pressing enter or by clicking the OK button before clicking the to Sphere button.

If you wish to review the spheres in inverse order you should choose them in the forward sequence shown and invert the view in the selected form on arrival. See the detailed discussion of the forms available above. If a from sphere is already selected and you wish to work with a different relationship, it is not necessary to reselect the from sphere; simply click a to Sphere button.
