2. Click on the "Locate" button.
3. Use the pull-down menu to select "t: ThawSpace".
4. Open the folder with your name [we created these yesterday].
5. If you created a "Typing" folder, open that.
6. Click OK.
7. If you see your name highlighted in the list, click OK.
8. Type in the password you created yesterday.
9. Click OK.
10. Click the green "A" (Alphabetic Keyboarding)
11. Continue where you left off.
