This is a simple introduction to some keyboard conventions.
You will be guided through some typing exercises one at a time.
Please press the requested keys when you are asked to do so.
Compare your keyboard with the one below. The location of some
of the keys may be different. In addition to the letter, number
and symbol keys, you have keys like the SHIFT key which extend the
use of the character keys. One of these is the CONTROL or CTL key.
When you hold this key down you get an additional meaning for each
of the character keys.
CTRLD
<CTRL-D> - end-of-file character usage, - 1.0.2.0.1
The CONTROL key is always used in combination with another character
key. When you use the CONTROL key, you must hold it down while you
press the other key. When keys must be pressed simultaneously, we
shall hyphenate them like <CONTROL-d> or <CONTROL-f>. (Some
documentation uses the carat symbol: ^ as a substitute for the
word CONTROL, so the combination could be represented as: <^d>.)
Please try to enter <CONTROL-d> now. Look at the keyboard
on your screen. Press both highlighted keys at the same time.
CTRL
D
EXCTRLD
You will be helped this time, but please be
more careful in the future!

Please try again, and be sure to hold the CONTROL key
down while you press the d key.
No, you used the SHIFT key instead of the CONTROL key.
Please try again, and be sure to hold the
CONTROL key down instead of the SHIFT key
while you press the d key.
Well, that's close. You held down the CONTROL key,
but you didn't type a d.
Please try again, and be sure to hold the CONTROL
key down while you press the d key!
That was not <CONTROL-d>; please try again.
Look at the keyboard on your screen. Press both of the
highlighted keys at the same time.
CR

<CR> - carriage return practice, - 1.0.2.0.2

The CR stands for Carriage Return. Locate the key
marked Return or Enter on your keyboard. This
key may also be called Ret or Newline or may be
represented by an arrow pointing to the left.
Please press this key now.

<CTRL-H> - backspace practice, - 1.0.2.0.3
To "backspace" or "erase a character" on UNIX
you can use <CONTROL-h>. This combination
of keys is called your delete character.
Please try pressing these keys simultaneously now.
(On some systems the delete character is the # key.)

can use the delete line or line kill character.
The standard UNIX line kill character is
<CONTROL-u>.

Suppose the output of your program is too long to fit on your
screen so it "sweeps" down your screen so fast you can't read it.
