Myrna, I am so glad you brought this up. I always thought .brf
was .brf. I was recently sent 84 files that had been written in
a Braille Lite in .brf files. Those would normally convert to
the BN. Mine are doing as you described. I thought I was nuts!
I am, but not in this case.

Subject: [Braillenote] mPower thinks text when the document is
Grade TwoBraille
This one is strange. I have a document in the General folder of
my
Flash disk on my newly transplanted mPower which is called
"tablet.brl." It really is a grade two Braille file. It was a
file
that was formerly on my BrailleNote and was restored to the
mPower.
The mPower thinks that it is a text file and if I have the option
on to
read text files in my preferred reading grade (grade two), the
document
is re-translated. So, if there is a dots 2, 6 character in the
file,
which was supposed to have been the E N contraction, because the
software thinks that this file is a text file, the E N
contraction now
becomes dots 3, 4, 5, 6, and in the next cell dots 1,5 which of
course
is the number 5, which it would be if the file had been written
in
computer Braille. The only way that I can get the file to read
properly, is to go into the Braille display options, and set my
preferred reading grade to computer Braille. I even renamed the
file
and changed the extension to .brf and that didn't help. Is there
no
way to get the software to understand that the file is not a text
file?
Myrna
