  Note, this is a revised .LBR of the TYPLEARN.LBR

  The .DOC file has some glitches removed and has been edited
  slightly to be used without a manual. The TYPEDATA.TXT file has
  been added with only two practice sentences and may be changed
  with the TYPEDATA.COM file.

  IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU HAVE ALL FILES FROM THIS FILE ON THE SAME DISK.

**************************  The basics of touch  ***************************
                                 typing
****************************************************************************

	This may seem a little confusing at first but it is
actually very simple, first the letters in parenthesis indicate
the fingers that are supposed to hit each key.  

	(b) -- is your baby finger
	(r) -- is your ring finger
	(m) -- is your middle finger
	(i) -- your index finger
	(t) -- is your thumb

	If the letter in the parenthesis is capitalized, then you
are to keep your fingers on these keys normally -- that is when
you are not using them for typing --  these keys are called "home
row", always keep your fingers on home row even though
you have the temptation to lift your fingers off the keyboard!!!

        Please note how each finger is to control each of its
surrounding keys.  Notice that each finger naturally is to hit
the characters above and below the home row keys.  The index
finger controls twice as many keys as the others.  Take your time
and be sure you have these few basic instructions in mind in
order to learn properly.

        Have fun.

  Using the typing tutorial program is as easy as any program
  should be.  When first using the typing tutorial you should
  follow the basic instructions shown at the beginning of the
  program.  Specifically; hit any key to begin the lesson.  Hit
  the key labeled 'ESC' to pause and find out your ratio of
  correct verses incorrect trys.  DON'T GET DISCOURAGED. 
  Learning to type isn't easy at first.

  Place your fingers on home row and then hit the flashing
  character with the proper finger.  If your response is the
  wrong one, your computer will beep, if your response is correct
  it will wait for your next typed character.

  NOTE:  DON'T GET AHEAD OF YOUR COMPUTER, WAIT TO SEE WHAT
  CHARACTER IT IS ASKING YOU FOR.

  If at this point you wish to quit just take out the disk, put
  it away and reset the computer.  If however you wish to
  continue just hit the 'B' key to (B)egin again, this will
  pick-up where you left off.  You may at any time during the
  lesson exit and enter the lesson as often as you wish.

*************       NEW USERS DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER     *******************




  When you have mastered the keyboard and feel that you wish to
  try a lesson without the video display keyboard (screen) you
  may wish to hit the 'N' key while the program is waiting for
  your response when the instructions are being displayed.

  Also you may enter your own text for your lessons at any time
  by running the typedata program, this is done by typing the
  word typedata, and entering your text that you wish to practice
  with.  When you are finished entering your text hit the return
  key and type 'end' and then hit another return.
