Hi Val,
     Yes that's right.  You can even save them onto the computer, then 
open the html in word and edit it like a big long text document.

Anki is a program to help people remember data.  It's from the Anki (??) 
is the Japanese word for "memorizing".  Andre Lemyre asked for this 
functionality.  Anki spaces out the "cards" to help you review the 
information at a good interval to help memorizing.  I hear many people 
use it to learn spoken languages or at least improve their vocabulary.

For anybody interested in more information on Anki try these links
