- PC-FASTYPE - Quick HELP Facility -- Advanced Menu
-
- Using selections made from this menu require you know how to type
- more than just the basic alphabet. The exercises selected will include
- CAPITAL letters, numbers, and special characters & symbols; - this is some
- really hard stuff.
-
- The EASY Sentences selection will contain mostly CAPITAL and lower-
- case letters. You don't have to worry to much about numbers until you get
- to HARD Sentences and Short Paragraphs.
-
- The exercise format is identical to the exercises selected from the
- Intermediate Exercises Menu; that is, you must type the character pointed
- to by the house-shaped cursor. Keyboard helpers are still available to
- you for assistance. Note the double spacing between sentences too.

-
- When you select any of the exercises in either the Intermediate or
- Advanced Exercises Menus, the length of the text you have to type will
- vary considerably. Text longer than what the text panel will hold will
- scroll upward as you type succeeding lines. Some text exercises are only
- one sentence long. The count in characters of these exercises range
- anywhere from 60 to 350 characters depending on what PC-FASTYPE randomly
- chooses from its own text files.
-
- You should be able to successfully type all of the characters
- displayed in the text panel. Keystroke errors will be flashed on the
- displayed keycap (with a large "X") and the cursor will advance to the
- next character leaving an asterisk under the one where the keystroke error
- was made. You can backspace to the error and fix it if you want.
