Teri; Could you block the text you want and move it to clipboard and then emboss? Terry Powers

Dear List, I'm happy to report the infrared to parallel converter I bought from Enabling technologies arrived yesterday. I have spent most of the afternoon trying it out. I'm not the brightest person when it comes to using things like this, so it took me a while to get it connected. It works very well with my Index Everest-D and my Mpower. I would like to say "beautifully", but the MP is having a hard time recognizing it. I have to put the infrared pointer snugly against the port. The infrared port on the MP is much smaller than the one on the classic. I have also received some error messages. The full contents of the error message doesn't appear on the braille display. It only appears in speech. The braille will show that the MP sees the infrared device. I wonder if there's a bug somewhere. The work-around I have been using is to press the escape key, press e for emboss and e to emboss a document and even go through one or two more steps until the MP kicks in, says embossing is complete and my document is finally embossed. Once you know the document is embossing, you don't need to go through any more steps. There are some suggestions I have for HumanWare to do which would improve embossing documents: 1. I would like to be able to emboss a document while it is still open. I would like to be able to emboss a paragraph or a block of text. This feature could be added to the block menu. 2. I would like to be able to emboss the current page of a document. 3. I would like to be able to emboss specific pages of a document, such as page 1, 4, 10, 20, 50, etc while the document is open. Sometimes only a few pages in a document need to be embossed over again and these pages may not be in sequence. All in all, I like the infrared to parallel converter and it's worth every penny I spent on it. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
