            PC-FASTYPE - Quick HELP Facility -- Advanced Menu

     Using selections made from this menu require you know how to type
more than just the basic alphabet.  The exercises selected will include
CAPITAL letters, numbers, and special characters & symbols; - this is some
really hard stuff.

     The EASY Sentences selection will contain mostly CAPITAL and lower-
case letters.  You don't have to worry to much about numbers until you get
to HARD Sentences and Short Paragraphs.

     The exercise format is identical to the exercises selected from the
Intermediate Exercises Menu;  that is, you must type the character pointed
to by the house-shaped cursor.  Keyboard helpers are still available to
you for assistance.  Note the double spacing between sentences too.

     When you select any of the exercises in either the Intermediate or
Advanced Exercises Menus, the length of the text you have to type will
vary considerably.  Text longer than what the text panel will hold will
scroll upward as you type succeeding lines.  Some text exercises are only
one sentence long.  The count in characters of these exercises range
anywhere from 60 to 350 characters depending on what PC-FASTYPE randomly
chooses from its own text files.

     You should be able to successfully type all of the characters
displayed in the text panel.  Keystroke errors will be flashed on the
displayed keycap (with a large "X") and the cursor will advance to the
next character leaving an asterisk under the one where the keystroke error
was made.  You can backspace to the error and fix it if you want.

** SHORT Paragraphs ------------- F4 **
      These exercises consist of small paragraphs made up of several
      sentences or one long sentence.  Included are capital letters,
      numbers, symbols and punctuation. If you're already a speedy typist,
      these exercises will tend to slow you down.

** Type Your Own Text ----------- F5 **
      Making this selection will pop-up a dialog box asking you for a file
      name containing your own text you can use to practice typing.
      PC-FASTYPE will read the file and display the lines in the text
      panel for you to type. See the section in the User Guide entitled
      Constructing Your Own Text Files.
