I seem to remember reading that it is very easy to covert from qwerty to Dvorak but very difficult to convert back.
The qwerty layout *was designed to slow the typist down. They were worried about keys jamming.

Ron, how do you find out which kewys are which? I have selected "Dvorak for left-handers" as an alternate input locale, but where can I find something that tells me what each character key has now become?

The "Dvorak for left-handers" layout is for people who have no use of their right hands, as distinct from two-handed people who use their left hands for writing etc.. I mention that, because the name of the layout is ambiguous.
I found diagrams and related information for one-handed typists at
http://home1.gte.net/bharrell/kbdtxt.htm
The two-handed Dvorak layout is described at
http://thisistrue.com/dvorak.html

There is a course on the subject at

That pretty much describes me - I have very limited use of my right hand. Thanks for the link. If you put [$url$] and [$/url$], without the $s, it makes the links hot.
