Just set your keyboard to DVORAK (if you have a GS or //c) and put the DVORAK keyboard layout in front of you and try typing. It only takes less than an hour to -start- to get the hang of it. A person that hasn't already learned the QWERTY layout and had it burned in their brain (like myself) would not be as well of as someone who hasn't learned the QWERTY layout. Just pick up any typing game (like TypeMaster) and type away. Of course, you'l l have to ignore the directions that tell what the home keys are etc. >---- >ProLine: asong@pro-nbs >Internet: asong@pro-nbs.cts.com >UUCP: crash!pro-nbs!asong >ARPA: crash!pro-nbs!asong@nosc.mil ---------------------------------------- BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm <------------send files here pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com
