- The first time you enter this menu you will be asked for your name. Your name
- is used to create a file to save your results at the end of each session. If
- more than one person uses TOUCH TYPE TUTOR on one computer then please make
- sure you do not use the same names and so avoid confusion. You may use spaces,
- numbers and underlines in your name.
-
- START NEXT SCREEN ....... you will be presented with a series of lessons which
- gradually introduce 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. 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.
-
- The clock will not start timing your responses until you type the first
- character.
