PracType teaches how to use your computer keyboard to enter data accurately
without looking at your keyboard or monitor.  The program leads step by
step through the rows of keys and recommends means for improving typing
performance.  Help screens and a manual teach correct typing technique and
show how to practice to achieve high accuracy and good typing rhythm.  A
log file facility allows you to record a history of your practice results. 
This makes it possible for you to review your learning progress and to look
for chronic problems. 

PracType is a DOS, text-based program that employs a menu bar, pulldown
menus, and dialog boxes to provide a simple user interface.  A manual,
message windows, and an extensive help facility teach keyboarding and speed
familiarization with the program.  

A LOAD program simplifies loading PracType on a hard disk or on another
floppy disk.  To use it, enter LOAD at the DOS prompt.  The computer screen 
will then show the installation options and how to exercise them.  Entering 
LOAD by itself does nothing besides displaying information on the screen.  

The program requires an IBM compatible computer with an operating system
compatible with MS DOS 3.0.  It works with a mouse that is compatible with
a version 6.0 Microsoft mouse or a version 3.42 Logitec mouse.
