KP Typing Tutor International Generation  4.0
 
                       Advance Tips for Users 
 
 
One of the advantages of KP compared to other typing tutors is that KP 
provides alternative courses and text samples, and convenient ways for you add  
your favourite course or text samples to the KP system. 
 
Here is the descriptions of those samples text files supplied with this typing  
tutor package. 
 
kp.txt               some office and scientific text 
 
kpcourse.txt         A course file for QWERTY keyboard. 
course2.txt          A longer version of ãkpcourse.txtä. 
course3.txt          A course with style different from the above 
coursed.txt          A course for Dvorak keyboard 
 
The default course using "kpcourse.txt" is shorter. This is based on the 
assumption that most of the learners that can use a computer are very familiar 
with the keyboard in various degrees, some can even type fairly fast but only 
can not touch type. You might choose a course much shorter or longer according 
to the situations of you or your students. 
 
If you happen to be a network manager of a windows environment, you might  
produce several program icons to start various ã*.batä files that indicate  
various practice styles. Please notice that Ms-window contain a Dvorak 
keyboard driver, you must install it previously. Some vendors also provides 
the  
Dvorak keyboard driver for DOS environment. 
 
KP provides two keyboard template styles each for the UK keyboard and the  
US keyboard. If you want to modify the color of the keyboard template, please  
refer to document "readme.2nd". 
 
If none of the keyboards template files listed support the keyboards in your  
country, you are encouraged to produce one. For more details, please read  
"readme3.txt". 
 
As mentioned in "readme.txt", KP is also useful for typing competition. 
 
Since the goal of KP is to provide more flexible and convenient ways for  
people with various characteristics and experience to learn to type quickly,  
your comments are important to improve the efficiency of KP for learning and  
teaching.
