There is no ``officiallly sanctioned'' method for typing.  Just do what
you feel is comfortable.  I didn't learn typing formally, but picked it
up as time passed.  I divide the keyboard into two halves bordered by
``5TGB'' and ``6YHN'', place my fingers on the ``ASDF'' and ``JKL;''
keys, use my thumbs for the space bar, and my little fingers for the
modifier keys.

Read the comp.human-factors newsgroup for more discussion about typing.
