AN INTERACTIVE TEACHING MACHINE
TM
YOU HAVE JUST SAVED HUNDREDS OF
HOURS OF FRUSTRATION
Congratulations !
You have made an even better buy than you could possibly imagine.
Your new
Type-right
is an interactive unit with the capability to
assess your typing speed and accuracy and communicate these figures
to you after each lesson via the LCD screen.
This
Type-right
product has been specially developed as the result of
extensive research into the experiences of people who have tried to
learn to type.
Studies show conclusively that people who try to learn typing with a
computer or typewriter, on their own, are almost sure to fail. With
these methods they are not interested in learning typing as an end,
but as a means to some other end ... such as computer programming
or writing reports.
With
Type-right,.
however, since teaching you how to type is the
only function it has, there is no temptation to skip ahead and carry
out other goals. The only thing you can do is learn how to type. And,
as a result, you do.
Just start going through the lessons contained in this manual and see
for yourself.

Battery saving auto shut-off
If your
Type-right
is turned on, but is not used for about 10 minutes,
it will automatically shut off to preserve your battery power. This is
very good for your batteries.
But remember, when it does this, all
memory will be wiped out and you will have to start again from
the beginning. So don't expect the second half of your lesson to be
waiting for you when you turn the
Type-right
on again.

The important parts
The following sections discuss in detail the usage of the major switches •
and input devices of the
Type-right
unit. Make sure you learn what all
these things do before you attempt to use them.

The keys
Your
Type-right
unit has 50 keys of all shapes and sizes, 42 of which
will work in 2 separate ways.
Just press the key:
key
screen
Most keys have a big white letter, number or word printed on them. If
you press a letter or number key without touching anything else, the
key will follow the orders of the big white writing. For example, if
you press the key marked "1", a number "1" will appear on the
screen. If you press the key marked "A", a small "a" will appear on
your screen.
The SHIFT key:
key
screen
On 16 of your keys ... all the number keys plus 6 others ... there is a
small symbol printed on top of the key. To make this top symbol
appear on your screen, you must press one of the SHIFT keys at the
same time, as you press any key with a small symbol. For example, if
you press the SHIFT key and the
"1"
key at the same time, a "!"
will appear on your screen.
(Note:
To type the lower symbol on those 16 keys, type as you
would for a small "a"; i.e., just hit that key without touching anything
else.)
6
If you press the SHIFT key and any letter key from A to Z, a capital
letter will appear on your screen. For example, if you press the SHIFT
key and the "A" key at the same time, your screen will show a capital
letter"A".
The SHIFT keys are easy to find. They are so important that there are
two of them, one on each end of the bottom row of keys. To make
things even easier for you, they say "SHIFT" on them.
The LOCK key:
When you press this key, you lock the keyboard into producing all
capital letters.
ONCE THE KEY IS ENGAGED, ALL YOUR TYPING
WILL APPEAR LIKE THIS. IT WILL CONTINUE IN THIS FORM
UNTIL YOU PRESS THE SHIFT KEY, at which time it will return
you to normal letters.
7
The R ETU R N key:
This key is located on the right-hand side of the second row of keys
on your
Type-right
unit. It has the word
RETURN
printed on the top
of it.
The
RETURN
key is used to tell the
Type-right
that you have finished
typing a line and want to start a new line. If you don't push the return
key when you want to end a line, the machine will combine it with
the next line and you would likely have to type both lines all over
again.
RETURN
actually stands for
CARRIAGE RETURN
and is a phrase
that has been adopted from old typewriter technology. Occasionally,
when reading basic program books, you will see the symbol
CR
used
for this function. Those who want to get away from association with
typewriters will use the command
ENTER.
Don't let either of these
worry you. They both simply mean
RETURN.
8
The SPACE key
This is the big long key at the bottom of your keyboard. What it does
is create an empty space between words, letter or numbers when you
are typing. Otherwise you would end up with one big word which
even you would have trouble reading.
The SPACE key will put an empty space on the screen whether you
just press it or whether you press it at the same time you are pressing
the SHIFT key.
C
These two keys have arrows on them. One points left, and the other
points right. They let you move the cursor one way or the other on
the screen.
The cursor is a little blip or line that indicates where the next letter
you type will appear. On the
Type-right unit, because the screen
is
only an electronic window, these arrow keys let you scroll back and
forth on each line of type visible on the screen ... in order to let you
make corrections while practicing lesson 8 and lesson 9.
The
Type-right
will check any mistakes after each word you have
typed. Once the SPACE key has been pressed after the typed word,
however, you cannot move the cursor backward. Also, if the word is
longer than 8 characters, the
Type-right
will check your mistake right
after the 8th character; that means there is no way to move the cursor
back after the 9th character.
