Some notes on the operation of the speed test:
When typing during a session, the clock starts timing your responses when you
type the first letter.
While typing, you can optionally switch a beeper on and off with the ! key
which will sound the bell every time you miss a character. When you mistype
a character, you must retype it correctly before you can continue the test.
(There is no extra penalty imposed for missed characters).
You can abort a session early by hitting the ESC key at any time, but if you
do this, your speed will not be calculated.
At the end of the real test (as opposed to the warm up), your results will be
written to a file called results.ttx
Styles...
You can test yourself with several styles of text. They are stored on
disk as ordinary text files and have the ".ttx" extension.
It is possible to edit these files should you wish to change them. A special
option called custom has been provided which matches the file custom.ttx.
By editing this file, you can add a totally new style of text to the list.
