TykeWriter Published by David Lazarus Age Group: Age 4 to 8 Type: Computer Toolbox License: free to try, $10 to register

This is a program to make it easy for little ones to type on the computer. The screen shows buttons for the letters below a writing area, so that the children don't need to look back and forth from the keyboard to the screen. The font, size, and color can all be changed to suit the preferences of the child, and the program can be customized to show the child's name and then offer to save their work.

New features include:

• Multi-Document Editing - For advanced students, two documents can be edited at once.
• Dynamic Screen Layout - TykeWriter now will shrink to fit into the small screen Macs and lap-tops. Should work on Black-and-white displays. For large displays, TykeWriter will spread out and center itself. TykeWriter now looks a little sharper too!
• Complete Apple Character Set - The on-screen keypad now includes the "Symbols" key which allows kids to type dozens of useful characters. When combined with the "Accent" key, the on-screen keypad can enter the entire Macintosh (US) character set.
• Flexible File Open/Close Modes - TykeWriter can be configured to open and save files (documents) in a variety of ways.
• Improved Handling of Fonts - TykeWriter will now find more fonts and displays them in alphabetic order.
