^How to make up a practice file for TouchType...
+--------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------
1 10 20 30 40 50 60 70
As you can see, the maximum length any line in the practice file can
be is 70 characters. If any line is longer it will be cut off at 70
characters.
If you want a title in this window for your practice file all you
need to do is place a carrot (^) in the first column of the first
line of the file. The text on that line will now be the title of
this window, i.e.
^ MY PRACTICE FILE
Placing the carrot (^) in the first column of the last line of the
file causes the message "END OF FILE" to appear when the last line
of the file is on the typing line.
Practice files can be created with any ASCII editor. You can also
use any existing ASCII file and simply rename it with the .LSN
extension. For example, suppose I wanted to practice on a .DOC file
that came with a public domain program. I would just rename the .DOC
file to have a .LSN extension, i.e. REN FILENAME.DOC FILENAME.LSN.
TouchType is capable of handling an ASCII file that is approximately
1000 lines long. This should be more than adequate for the average
beginner.
