Command Line Features

|
|
|
|
|
session is chosen from selected lesson.

|
is available for the user to paste his text file he wants to type.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

NOTE: Text file should contain only ascii 7 bits characters. For this reason,
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
of the session line(timing reset) For each wrong character erased, number of
|
|
|
|
|
errors is decremented by one.
|
|
|
|
|
-User session timing starts only when he types a first character (wrong or
|
|
|
|
|
correct)
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
and starts only as described above.
|
|
|
