→Notes on the Lessons
:■ Special Keys. Lesson 4-A introduces the question mark (?), the apostrophe ('), and the quotation mark ("). These keys require use of the '''FCTN''' key, and they are in a different location than on a regular typewriter.
: The question mark is typed by holding down the '''FCTN''' key with the fourth finger on the right hand and tapping the I key with the second right-hand finger. To type the apostrophe, press the '''FCTN''' key and tap the Okey with the third right-hand finger. To type the quotation mark, press the '''FCTN''' key and tap the '''P ''' key with the third right-hand finger. You would normally use the fourth finger for the '''P ''' key, but in this case, the fourth finger is holding down the '''FCTN''' key.
: Because these keys are more difficult to master, you are not expected to type these as fast as the letter keys. As with numbers and symbols, the Target WPM for this level is half of the goal used in Levels 1 through 3.
:■ Function Keys. In the lessons and the reviews, if you press '''REDO''',the lesson or review starts over. If you press '''PROC'D''', youimmediately proceed to the next lesson or review. Pressing '''BACK''' returns you to the Lessons selection list, and BEGIN returns you tothe Touch Typing Tutor selection list. :■ Practice Sessions. An hour is about the longest that you shouldspend working on your typing at any one time. After that length oftime, you may find yourself tiring, and you will make moremistakes as a result. : Each time you sit down to work on a new lesson, repeat thepreceding reviews to warm up. For example, if you are ready towork on Lesson 3-A, work through Reviews 1 and 2 first. Then goon to the new lesson. : If you are working on numbers and symbols (Levels 5 through 8),work through the reviews beginning with Review 5 for warm-up.For example, if you are ready for Lesson 7-A, work throughReviews 5 and 6 first.
