target  time  for  the  desired  pause,  with  shorter  times  are  to  the 
right (+), and longer times to the left (

).  

A marker “ * ” indicates the measured time of pause between key 
presses. The objective is to time your key release so the marker 
falls inside the  brackets, as “ <*> “. If the marker is to the right, 
extend  the  pause; if on the left, shorten it. Extending  the pause 
longer than 2 seconds between the first and second presses will 
exit the exercise and return control to the MAIN MENU.
