[CW] CW Practice Text - for users of code tutor/trainer software

[Bill Lanahan]

I don’t use cmd line tutors 😊 I use Just Learn Morse Code and LCWO.net, but I have a command window open where I run my tool.  I wish I could actually relearn code after a 40 year holiday. It does keep me interested and hopeful. I hope all the drugs they gave me didn’t mess that part of my brain. I’ll look at your archives. Tnx fer that Info.
