- About TOUCH TYPE TUTOR
-
- The TOUCH TYPE TUTOR has been designed to teach you how to touch type in the
- most efficient way, by constantly adapting to your level of skill and giving
- you more practice with the characters you find hardest.
-
- You will be presented with a series of lessons which gradually introduce more
- and more keys from the keyboard. The computer assesses your progress at the
- end of each session and decides whether it is time to promote you to the next
- lesson. Promotion to the next lesson is achieved when you reach a consistent
- speed of 30 words per minute.
-
- At the end of each session you may optionally save your results to disk.
-
- A game mode has been added as a means to enhance the learning of key positions
- as well as provide a little light relief. For more information on this, select
- the help option on the game menu screen.

- Operation of TOUCH TYPE TUTOR
-
- When typing during a session the clock starts timing your responses when you
- type the first letter.
-
- At any time you can optionally switch a beeper on and off with the ! key which
- will sound the bell everytime you miss a character. Any missed characters must
- be re-typed correctly before you can continue the lesson. There is no extra
- penalty imposed for missed characters.
-
- You may abort a session early by hitting the ESC key at any time but if you do
- this you will not be allowed to save any results to disk.
-
- The SHIFT key is not introduced until lesson 8. Until then, all characters are
- presented in lower case. After lesson 8, you must use the SHIFT key as needed.

- Your Name
-
- After you QUIT the help screen and select START TUTORIAL you will be asked
- for your name. Your name is used to create a file to save your results at
- the end of the session. If more than one person uses the TOUCH TYPE TUTOR
- on this computer then please make sure you don't use the same names and so
- avoid confusion! You may use spaces, numbers and underlines in your name
- if you wish.
