I like the way the BN works. All of the braille displays I have used unlink the display from the cursor in reading mode but they all give you the ability to link the cursor to where you are. In the case of the BN, you can press a cursor routing button once in a while.
I have my classic connected to my PC. When I'm using DBT Win, my margins are set so I can read 30 cells on a line. I translate the doc into braille and use the next and previous thumb keys to read line by line through the document. I also set up a WindowEyes hot key so I can jump from paragraph to paragraph. You could do this with the BN, too. Then your cursor will always be with you. But when I'm reading a book, I'd rather not have the cursor linked. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
