Am I right thinking that "program" here is some kind of learning course or something, not computer application?

This word can be used both in learning and computing

what is the difference among access, reach, arrive.

[Torsten]

Hi Sultano,

You can arrive at a place and you can reach or access something. Your sentence should read What is the difference between access and arrive?

But TD, if he wants the merits of three or more things... can't he use "among"?

(you're right, of course, in that if he wants to compare two things, he needs to use "between")

sort of akin to more/most and less/least:

comparing two things: use more/less

comparing three or more things: use most/least
