The first time you enter this menu you will be asked for your name.  Your name
is used to create a file to save your results at the end of each session.  If
more than one person uses TOUCH TYPE TUTOR on one computer then please make
sure you do not use the same names and so avoid confusion.  You may use spaces,
numbers and underlines in your name.

START NEXT SCREEN ....... you will be presented with a series of lessons which
gradually introduce more keys from the keyboard.  The computer assesses your
progress at the end of each session and decides whether it is time to promote
you to the next lesson.  The SHIFT key is not introduced until lesson 8.  Until
then all characters are presented in lower case.  After lesson 8 you must use
the SHIFT key as needed.

The clock will not start timing your responses until you type the first
character.

performance in words per minute throughout each screen of the lesson.
