| Can I use FOCUS more than one time? |

If you do not complete your use on the first session, you can return
to use it again. FOCUS always saves your records so you can pickup
where you left off earlier. |

not a fee to use the program. Otherwise, you must pay an $39.00 registration
fee to use the program. |
| Will FOCUS save my results after I use it? |
| |
Yes, FOCUS will save all your information under your
confidential user identification and password. Each time you return
to use FOCUS, the Main Menu will show you which phases you have completed
so you don't have to repeat them. That means if you wish to use FOCUS
again you can pick up where you left off. |

These reports can be found under the title "reports" on
