1.1 fixes the words per minute calculation problem. 
    clears the second window if you decide to do more than 1 option
    in a session.

This program will help you if you know how to type or are
learning.  First goto the OPTIONS menu and pick which type
of lesson you want. Right now there's two - phrase and 
alphabet.  The phrase lesson writes a commonly used typing
practice phrase twice.  The alphabet option types the alphabet
which you are not timed on.  The alphabet option is for new
typists who are not familiar with the keyboard and the key
placement.  In this mode a help screen is shown at the bottom
for which hand and finger to use for each letter.  The phrase
option is timed and will record your score in wpm (words per
minute).  If there are any errors you must subtract them from
your score or you can backspace and correct any errors before
you get to the end of the phrase line.  The lesson is over when
you reach the ending column of the top window. After you pick
your option, click FILE START. Your fingers should be placed on
the bold letters shown on the screen.

windows 3.x users -
you can still use this program if you have the win32s
drivers (available from http://www.microsoft.com or
do a search for win32s).  The only thing different i've
noticed is that the hint box by the buttons are all 
black so you can't read them.

registration -
if you decide to use this program after 30 days, please
send $20 with the filled in registration file included.
