       `gtypist'  is a typing tutor with several lessons for different keyboards and languages.  New lessons can
       be written by the user easily.

              To run the default lesson in english `gtypist.typ':

              gtypist

              To run the lesson in spanish:

              gtypist esp.typ

              To instruct gtypist to look for lesson `bar.typ' in a non standard directory:

              GTYPIST_PATH="/home/foo" gtypist bar.typ

              To run the lesson in the file `test.typ' of directory `temp', starting at label `TEST1', using the
              terminal's cursor, and run silently:

              gtypist -t -q -l TEST1 /temp/test.typ
