Probably the best way to see what this program does is to run it,
but here is a brief description.
The program is designed to be easy to use by people unfamiliar
with computers, hence:
<RETURN> (Carriage Return) after most prompts produces
reasonable starting DEFAULTS.
<?> after a prompt will print a description of each
option on the screen.
Hit RETURN for more HELP.
#
SET UP
The screen is divided into THREE areas:
1. Keyboard DISPLAY duplicating the QWERTY keyboard on the
screen.
2. COMMENTS containing instructions for each typing exercise.
3. EXERCISES near the bottom of the screen, including the
line you should type and ECHOING what you type below it.
Hit RETURN for more HELP.
#
OPERATION
First follow the menus to select an exercise and to turn the ECHO
and ERROR BREAK functions off or on.
When the exercise begins, the keyboard will highlight the next
character to be typed in BOLD reverse video. Each letter that you
type will be highlighted in reverse. You must complete each line
and press <RETURN> at its end, unless you escape to `COMMAND MODE.'
To escape from `EXERCISE MODE' to `COMMAND MODE' type <ESCAPE>.
This will let you quit the program, skip some lines, repeat a line
or start a new exercise.
At the end of each exercise, you will have a choice between
starting a new exercise or quitting the program.
*** NB ***
MAKE & USE a cover for your keyboard - A piece of stiff cardboard
will usually work. You will learn faster in the end, though it may
be a bit frustrating at first.
Hit <RETURN> to return to program or <N> to end.
