Yep that's right, Gene.  The guy who taught the code for my Novice class 
was a carpenter and he added one of his rafter square clamps to the arm 
of his bug to slow it down to 7-8 WPM.   After he examined our copy one 
night and announced that we all just "passed" our Novice code test, the 
weight came off and the speed went up ;-)
