This disk came from a recent private purchase. A standard Microbee 5.25" disk, bootable and not copy protected which imaged 100% error free.
Hands on Names was written by Howard Gould and produced by Nectar Software in 1987. Its designed for Prep and Grade 1 students to help them type their own name and the use of the Microbee keyboard.
The disk boots to a general program but there are 2 other forms, one for Prep and one for Grade 1. When it asks for your name if you select PLAY you get to practice Hunt and Peck with upper and lower case random letters.
There is a help file, HANDSON.HLP, on the disk, just use Transfer to view it. This is a Premium 128k program but may work on others.
So in the MbeeTech repository in the Microbee\Software\Education folder we placed
hands_on_names_ds40.dsk
