But once your friend becomes a member and has a password, of course it can be used with bookshare. If it's a grade2 file, that is a brf file, you set your system on grade2 at the time you move the file from downloads and unzip it. If the password requires ascii braille, computer braille, just type the password in computer braille. You don't have to make any changes in the middle of the process. I have nothing but my one machine and get newspapers, magazines, books under copyright, etc. How you set the machine when they're unzipped counts. See, if it's text (txt) zipped, that's computer braille all the way. If it's BRF, that's a grade2 setting, but when you type your password in computer braille, it's returning the same values your system saw somewhere else, such as when you logged in? It's that ascii value thing, I think. What those settings do is tell the system how you want things read. That's why I can do what I do, I think. Ronda, you can give me a buzz. I'm not meaning to step on your authority if that's one of your students. I can explain it better in person.
