Hello Melissa:
I'm hoping that your reference to the up and down arrow keys
means you're using a QT MPower. I have the same, so here are just
a couple of quick commands. The up and down arrow keys should
work just as they do in a word processing document. You can also
use the ctrl+left and right arrow to move by word. The Read+T
combo will move you to the top likewise the Read+B will take you
to the bottom. The Read+h command will take you to the beginning
of the current line. Read+G will read from the cursor downwards.
The tab and shift tab will move you between web controls like
text boxes and check boxes and so forth. Remember that you *DO
NOT* need to push ENTER to invoke any kind of forms mode. Just
start typing.
One of the hardest things I found was knowing what to do at list
boxes. Use the space key to cycle through the choices in the
list.
Check out the online help section for more commands. Or just
post your question to the list and one of us can probably help

Subject: [Braillenote] navigating the internet
Hi everyone!
I got my MPower VoiceNote QT about a month and a half ago and I
can't tell
you how much I love it! I never leave the house without it! I
have been very
surprised at how user friendly it is and have enjoyed learning
how to use it
without having to deal with tons and tons of confusion.
I have managed to figure out many things but, I can not quite
figure out how
to navigate a webpage. I know that by hitting space and back
space, I can
navigate all the links. When I find a link I want, I know that by
hitting
enter, I can click on the desired link. That part is simple. What
I don't
understand is how to navigate all the text on the webpage. I have
tried
using the up and down arrows but, that seems rather cumbersome.
Is there a
better way to do this?
Thanks.
Milissa and Jockey, the energizer doggy

Subject: re: [Braillenote] Going Wireless
Hello:
If your working with Keysoft 6.1 or later or using an MPower,
the wireless
process is pretty simple. The first thing you'll need is a
wireless card.
I use the WL1100c by ambicom. I know that others have had
success with a
couple of the sanddisk cards. Humanware maintains a list of
compatible
cards on its website. I got my Ambicom at Amazon.com and I've
also gotten
one from Tiger direct. The cost is between $55 and $65. The card
looks
like a compact flash card on Stairoids and usually fits in the
rear
compact flash slot of your BrailleNote or through use of a
PCMCIA cradle,
in the side slot.
Now you'll need somewhere to access. You've probably heard of
the term
"Wireless hot spot", Or Wi-Fi. Lots of hotels, universities,
airports and
other public spots that want to increase their traffic maintain
wireless
connectivity. To check out if there is one of these Wi-Fi
locations near
where your sitting, with your wireless card attached to your
BrailleNote,
simply "Scan" for them. Many of these spots are FRE to access
and others
have a small charge or monthly subscription. I was amazed, when
I got my
wireless connectivity going on my MPower, how many of these
hotspots are
out there and how many of them are FREE. When you get your card
and have
it working, many people on this list can talk you through this
scanning
and connecting process.
Now, if you like the wireless lifestyle and want to enjoy it at
home,
you'll want to setup a wireless router. There are lots of them
out there.
Some of them have built-in cable or DSL modems and others are a
separate
unit. The one I use and am the most comfortable with is the
Linksys
WRT54g. Whatever you buy, make sure it is 802.11b compatible
(Most are,
and you can ask your local RadioShack or Circuit City for
recommendations), and that it can be made secure through a
process known
as WEP. With a wireless router in place, braudband service of
some kind,
and your wirelessly enabled BrailleNote, you can do things like
what I'm
doing now. Sitting out here on my patio enjoying a gorgious
desert morning
and staying connected. All without a wire anywhere near me.
I've given this answer in some pretty general terms, if you'd
like
cclarification about any of this stuf, don't hesitate to ask.
