-
- Once you have become reasonably proficient at typing all of the letters of
- the alphabet, you can try your hand at performing some of the simple exercises
- selected from this menu.
-
- Your typing speed will be tracked during these exercises and printed on
- the text panel above the screen keyboard when an exercise is done.
-
- None of these exercises contain numbers or capital letters. The only
- keys you should know how to type besides the 26 letter keys, are the space bar,
- the semi-colon (;), comma (,), dash (-), period (.), and the enter key.
-
- All of the keyboard aids are still available from menu 5 for your use.
- An interesting combination may be to set the hidden key feature then outline
- the HOME keys for guidance.

-
- Your task for any exercise selected from this menu is to type the line
-
- that will be displayed in the text panel. Follow the cursor as it points to
-
- each character to be typed. If you wait too long to type the character you
-
- will be prompted by the key being flashed on the screen keyboard. It will
-
- continue to flash until the correct key is pressed. Try to stay ahead of the
-
- prompt so you can build up your speed.
