Terri; What is the command for the BT to save a record in the address book. I think it is space with e. I do not want to lose my imfo. A lot to look up again. Thanks. Terry Powers

You could emboss manuals for those who cann't do it themselves. Just an idea.

I've been a Keysoft fan since 1995, and I love its environment. I'm also a fan of DBT (Duxbury Braille translator) and I've used it with a braille display since 1991 and in the DOS days since 1995. I'm unique, because my neds favor producing good braille rather than print documents so the BN and the PC go together nicely, especially since Humanware changed to Duxbury as its translator. So, if I need to do footnotes, for example, I will use DBT, since the document is more likely to be put into braille than print. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
