- TYPE TREK is a typing tutor in game format. As a game,
- it follows (loosely) the classic Star Trek games that
- originated on mainframe computers, where the goal was to seek
- out and des- troy Klingon ships. (That was long before "Star
- Trek: the Next Generation" appeared, when Klingons were the
- enemy.) As a typing tutor, TYPE TREK introduces the keys on
- the keyboard, starting with the "home row" keys, and adding
- keys until the keyboard is mastered. Controlled drills are
- provided through the use of "code words" that fire phasers and
- photon torpedoes, move the Enterprise, dock and refuel, etc.
-
- TYPE TREK can be enjoyed by experienced typists as well
- as novices. For example, Level 14 provides drills for the
- number keys (usually the top row of keys). Typing classes may
- not cover this row, since it really isn't essential, so here
- is a chance to finally learn it. Level 15 provides a general
- review of all the keys.
-
- There are so many keyboard layouts that TYPE TREK does
- not attempt to teach function keys (F1, F2, etc.) or
- specialized keys such as PgUp, PgDn, Insert, Num Lock, and so
- on. TYPE TREK concentrates on the "QUERTY" layout -- the
- alphabetic, number and punctuation keys (including the SHIFT
- keys and the space bar) normally found in the middle area of
- typewriters and computer terminals.
