Hi Carol:
This may be a weird question, but do you save your E-mail to the
Draft folder if you're not ready to send it? I know that if you
have written, and leave it, the unit will go into the "sleep"
mode. If you press a key, it can delete what you have done. I
know, you're probably doing this. Trying to think of options.

Subject: [Braillenote] LOST EMAIL ON PK!
Hi all,
I'm *definitely* losing some mail that I write and it's a little
bit
annoying! This has happened three or four times now.
About a week ago Terry and I discussed our likes and uses of both
the
mPower and PK and from this discussion I agreed with Terry that
we could
both write too fast to do so for any length of time with the
speech
turned on. I therefore turn it off when writing longer emails.
This
morning I had written several paragraphs and suddenly, again, it
all
disappeared and I found myself back in the Main Menu. As this
has
happened a few times now and I am not aware of writing an
"E-Chord" or a
dots 1,2,3,4,5,6-chord, I can only conclude that this might be
happening
for one of the following reasons:
1) There's a limit to the email size and I'm overstepping it;
2) I'm writing too fast and things are locking up; or
3) the spacebar is sticking. (This does not appear to be the
case.)
I am not storing any additional files on the Keysoft System Disk
so
storage shouldn't be the problem.
On my last crash, I looked in the Keysoft System disk for the
temporary
..RTF file and it was nowhere to be seen. . . .. I did check
all file
types.
As a safety net, at least until I isolate the problem, I'm
thinking
about saving the text regularly as a block into a given filename
on a
different drive, so that I can retrieve the text in case of
another
similar crash.
All comments and suggestions at this stage are most welcome.
Thanks.
