Activity 2 (Letter E, Shift, Colon, Comma, Period)
The letter “e” is entered by pressing the left middle finger north. Key the following line three
times; concentrate on increasing your speed for each time. Enter a hard return at the end of a
line.

For the “shift key” (there's only one - we don't need two with DataHand since all fingers
remain in their wells) press down lightly with the left thumb. The “shift key” can be locked
by pressing down hard on the key with your left thumb.
Since most word processors default to a proportional spacing font, only one space is used
after ending punctuation marks such as periods, question marks, colons, etc. This practice has
been followed in these materials. If you prefer to use two spaces ending punctuation or that's
what is done in your business, by all means use two spaces. The point is to be consistent.
Key each of the lines that follow. When finished, repeat the same four lines, and then repeat
them one more time. Concentrate on mastering the use of the shift feature. Note that the
colon is the shift of the semi colon key and that the comma and period were introduced in the
Number Mastery material.
