Hi Jane

For the 'line 40 is too long for screen', fixed in this patch:
   http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/openwrt-packages/source/commit/d52629c80367d47ad4195dca585264f61a39967c/

Here is the patched OpenWrt package:
   http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/xiangfu/tmp/gtypist_2.8.5-2_xburst.ipk

I have tried in nanonote and play a little by using nanonote keyboard.
the "Series S Speed drills" works fine. for other lessons we needs change the lines
short a little for good looking. OpenWrt is using '/usr/share/gtypist'.
