I have the same problem. I like to braille the steps in the most simplest version to follow in the future. My idea about making a log of commands in alphabetical order also applies to steps on how to do a process. If I have all the steps about the book reader and NLS I will put them under B for books or book reader. The way I am making mine is all the B items are together, but not in alphabetical order. This let you add when ever you want and not have to rebraille the whole section. It is simple to run your fingers down a string of B commands than remember, is it an edit command? Is it a read command? What section would I find it under. I love my manual, but that that is my big problem with the hand book. I never found a section on book reader in the list of commands in the handbook. I also suggest putting your alphabetical listing on the plastic braille paper. I know Services for the Visually Impaired in MD sells it. 301-589-0894 I believe. This method is also useful for phone numbers.

I have always had problems that way. Once I am shown how to do something and do it many times then I remember. And proud to show someone else. --Dar Every saint has a future, Every sinner has a past ----- Original Message ----- From: "Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 10:57 AM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] re: Braillenote Digest, Vol 752, Issue 1 I like to read the directions on how to do something and be able to try it on the spot. It also makes it easier to copy steps into braille. I am like you, it is hard to read how to do something and then have to go to another location and try it. I have mentioned this before, but you may not have been on the list, I have epolepsi. It is harder for me to remember commands. As they say, if you do not use it you lose it. I also find the manual on the machine to be handy. I would say read the manual from the machine, first, and then read the braille copy and try to memorize the steps. Reading it from the machine, lets you have some idea how the job is done before trying it yourself.

Some folks at Pulsedata don't see the need. So, I am glad there are some folks on this List who, unlike myself, may not be deaf-blind, but still want a BRAILLE MANUAL! (I hate switching back and forth between what I'm trying to learn and the electronic Manual!) Where can I get one, even for $150? Listers: Please don't take offense. However, I'd be grateful if some of you braille readers, who are not deaf-blind, would help us push for a hard-copy brialle manual!
