- Welcome to FAS-TYPE for the IBM-PC and Compatibles.
-
- FAS-TYPE is a typing instruction program SPECIFICALLY designed for IBM-PC
- styled keyboards. These quick-start instructions will get you going right
- away. You MUST have a Color/Graphics Adapter Card in your PC or FAS-TYPE
- will complain.
-
- To Start:
- Floppy Disk Drive: Place the disk in any drive and type FASTYPE.
- Fixed Disk Drive: First create a sub-directory then copy the entire
- contents of the disk to the new directory. Change to the new dir-
- ectory and type FASTYPE to start the program.
-
- To Run:
- After selecting the disk drive letter where the program and data files
- exist, Menu #1 will be displayed. Just press F10 to start a drill.
- To return to Menu #1 press Escape key or F1 function key.
-
- What you have to do:
- For DRILLS, type each key as you are prompted for it. The
- selection is random, the number of characters you have
- to successfully type is displayed before you start.
- When the drill is finished your WPM and other data will
- be displayed.
- For LESSONS, type each character pointed to by the
- cursor () and when you reach the symbol, press the
- enter key (┘) (for "carriage-return"). When you finish
- the lesson your WPM and other data will be displayed.
-
- While running:
- Menus:
- There are 5 drill, lesson, and feature selection menus and
- 2 sub-menus for selecting additional keys to learn.
- Menus 1 to 5 can be displayed by pressing function
- keys F1 to F5 anytime while the screen keyboard is displayed.
- And, while any selection menu is displayed you can go to another
- menu by selecting it from Menu #1 or by first holding down
- the ALT key and pressing F2, F3, F4, or F5.
- <Esc>ape key:
- Pressing the Escape key anytime during a drill or lesson will
- cause the drill or lesson to terminate and Menu #1 to be
- displayed.
- Function Keys:
- The function keys have two purposes: 1. Pressing any function
- key (F1-F5 only) during a DRILL or LESSON will cause the
- appropriate Menu to be displayed, 2. Pressing a function key
- while a MENU is displayed will cause SELECTION of the item
- listed next to the function key name on the Menu.
- Help:
- ALL menus have help screens available. For the Main menus, F1
- is always the HELP key; for the 2 sub-menus, type the number 0
- to get the help screens. Follow the instructions given.
-
- Caveats:
- FAS-TYPE will run on most compatibles, however, the program runs
- notably faster on the ATT-PC 6300 which distorts the prompting rhythm.
