- PC-FasType - Quick HELP Facility -- Keyboard Helpers Menu
-
- The Keyboard Helpers Menu lets you select various options affecting
- the screen displayed keyboard and to 'toggle' them ON or OFF.
-
- Each press of a function key reverses the previous setting of the
- option. If it's ON you'll turn it OFF, if it was OFF you'll turn it ON.
-
- Each typing helper keeps its setting throughout all the drills and
- exercises that you select. They're not reset unless you change them or
- restart PC-FasType.
