I have the same problems you have.  I have epelepsi and it has an effect on
my memory.  If you do not use it you lose it.
I came up with an idea.  I wish the commands were in alphabetical order.  It
would be so much easier to look up something again.  
SVi, Services For The Visually Handicapped, in MD has 5/7 notebooks with
plastic braille paper.  These sheets hold up for a long time and can even
can be washed off.
When they come back in stock,  I am going to start to make a alphabetical
booklet of commands and steps on how to do things.  For example, under the
letter D, I am going to list all the delete commands. 

SVI is:
301-589-0894 in Maryland

Hope this idea helps.  
Under the spacific letter, they do not have to be in alphabetical order.
This allows you to keep adding to the letter D with out rebrailling the
section. 
If you have any questions, e-mail me at

This method is also handy for phone numbers.

This list is very helpful. I know it gets old for the wizards to hear the
beginners asking questions tthat seem to have obvious answers to those
familiar with how to do things. But as I learned ages ago when first getting
involved with WINDOWS, you never stop learning, and you can never remember
it all. I don't think I ever would have found that delete command under
erase in block commands because I think of block commands as editing type
commands to do things with chunks of a file, not with the file as a whole
from the outside Well I didn't before...now I will look at that concept
differently. There is so much new to learn here, and as I read through the
manual, if I'm not immediately going to use what I read, it hasn't a chance
of staying in my head any more until I come across the need for it. Having a
collection of people each remembering different parts of the whole is a
marvelous resource for help. And once I gain a new concept or skill, I go
and practice it over and over until 
it becomes a new pattern I hopefully can remember and pass on to someone
else seeking it in the future.
 was it Jim who taught me Function-O C W N? I do that every shutdown now and
I haven't had trouble with my wireless connection in ages.
