- ********************************************************************
- To run TKI on a VGA type display, type TKIRUN and press ENTER at
- the dos prompt within the directory you have installed TKI. To run
- TKI on a NON-VGA monitor type TKIMONO.
- ********************************************************************
-
- TO OPERATE TKI, YOU WILL NEED TO RUN THE SETUP PROGRAM PROVIDED.
-
- To run the setup program, go to the directory that you placed the
- TKI system and run SETUP.EXE. For example, if you place the TKI
- files on the C drive, in a directory called TKI off the root
- directory, then simply type CD\TKI at the DOS prompt of drive C
- and press ENTER. Then, type SETUP and hit the ENTER key.
-
- The following describes what answers are expected in SETUP.
-
- 1) THE DIRECTORY/PATH OF YOUR WORD PROCESSOR PROGRAM.
- At this prompt you will instruct TKI how to automatically
- execute your favorite word processing software. An example of
- a response for WordPerfect is as follows:
-
- C:\WP51\WP.EXE
-
- This would assume your WordPerfect is in a directory called
- "WP51" on the C drive and the WordPerfect program is called
- "WP.EXE" which in the case of WordPerfect, it is normally
- supplied with that name. Variations of this will occur with
- other vendors such as Microsoft Word where you may have:
-
- C:\WORD\WORD.EXE
-
- Refer to the manual of your word processor for details on this.
-
-
- 2) THE HARD DRIVE LETTER THE KEYBOARD INSTRUCTOR IS ON.
- Simply respond by pressing the letter of the disk drive that
- you have placed TKI.
-
- 3) THE DIRECTORY OF SUBDIRECTORY THAT THE KEYBOARD INSTRUCTOR
- RESIDES.
- This can be anything you wish. If the directory that you
- placed TKI in is off the root directory, you must precede that
- name with a backslash such as \TKI. If you placed TKI in a
- subdirectory, than that name will precede \TKI.
-
- 4) THE DRIVE LETTER THAT YOU WILL USE FOR YOUR PERSONAL DATA
- DISKETTE.
- To operate TKI you will need to have a data disk in either
- your A or B drive. TKI downloads all lesson information to a
- floppy disk to ensure privacy and prevent tampering of lesson
- information.
-
- 5) ARE YOU USING A VGA COMPATIBLE MONITOR?
- Indicate a Y for yes if you have a VGA capabilities and a N
- for anything else.
-
- 6) INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE!
- You are finished with the SETUP, and are now ready to run THE
- KEYBOARD INSTRUCTOR.
