There are dozens of typing games out there that would help with basic key speed. The better ones will start with the home keys [asdf|jkl;] and as you become proficient with those, they will add progressively more keys as your skills improve. I learned to type fairly well [50-60words/min] with such a game on my first TSR80.
I think even a few days with a couple of hours of practice would provide some improvement. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
