  • Searching for an old program

    Way back in '88 when I was in the fifth grade, I remember having a
    keyboarding class in school. The program we used had a cat, I believe named "Paws," that would help students learn how to type. That's pretty much all I can remember other than the computers were all Apple IIe.

    Does anyone here know the actual name of the program, and better yet, where
    I may obtain a copy of it??? I would love for my kids to learn to type the
    same way I did.

    -Robert

    StickyBear Typing is there. I think that may be what
    he is after. I just tried it and it runs fine once
    the DSK image is extracted and ADT'd over to the Apple.

    I can't remember the exact title either. No, it's not Stickybear
    Typing; the name started with PAWS. I learned with it too.
