[HCARC] CW Question

[John Luttrell]

I purchased a  "Code Practice Oscillator" - Key for  my Son for his
birthday (he does not know about  it yet).

http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/morse/0555.html

Also a book from ARRL for CW / Morse Code.

Now for the sake of both of us, is there a program out there for the PC
(Windows 7 to be exact) that will help us learn and practice CW?

I don't want him to just hammer away at the key and not know if he is doing
well or not.

What would be even better if there was a way to plug the above key into a
pc and work it that way.

I downloaded and tried to figure out 2 programs (failure on both) - "Just
Learn Morse Code" & "G4FON Koch Trainer", neither seem very user friendly
for a newcomer.

I imagine there are quite a few videos on youtube that I can grab, but I
really don't know where to start.

I have to say though we are very open to learning and we are trying to
absorb everything sent our way. I tell Josh every time you guys mention him
that you have done so and he gets so excited!

Thanks
