Hi Sarah V.;
I always use spase e and space full cell.  I have only had to reset about 3 or 
4 times since I got 5.0 and now I have my MPower, 7.0.  saving your way has to 
many steps when space with e will save your document.  
I may have to go to your method when I start using my MPower for longer 
transactions.  Right now, my highlight is the address book and short 
transactions in word processor.  I keep my nut sales which are short 
transactions, notes about NFB, Admin notes and other items but I am just trying 
to learn the book reader and the radio feature.  I sure will love it when I can 
learn how to down load the curnel books and read what I shoud have read many 
years ago.
bye for now.
Terry Powers

Instead of going to the main menu all the time I would strongly recommend 
saving the file you are editing regularly.  I have gone days without seeing the 
main menu once.  I just save my document when I have done some editing and I 
frequently turn my BrailleNote off or switch to other applications.  I have 
been working with my BN that way for years, first with the original BrailleNote 
BT 32 and now with an MPower.  I have frequently had to do resets, but I've 
never lost anything, because saving has become a totally automatic thing.  I 
just hit Space with S then enter then y and I'm back to writing in my document 
in a couple seconds.  Going to the main menu would waste way too much time, so 
I wouldn't do it often enough to protect all my work. I haven't noticed that 
resets are less frequent when you go to the main menu often either.  I tried it 
for a while to see, but I didn't really notice a difference in behavior.

If you have a classic and have a huge file open you might want to leave it 
before turning your BrailleNote off, because you can save time by not opening 
the file all the time if you don't happen to need that file next time you turn 
your BN on.
