Hi Ann, actually it isn't even necessary to get into directory mode if you want to move through subfolders. All one has to do while in folder mode is to press space to find a folder in the usual folder list. If you want to see if that folder has subfolders, press space with dots 5-6. If subfolders exist, you will be able to press the space bar to move through them. Pressing space with dots 5-6 again will take you to subfolders of the subfolders if there are any, etc. Pressing space with dots 2-3 moves you back up through the tree again.

Here's the deal. First, she's been reading book1 and it's in a subdirectory on her flashcard. She wants to read book2 which is in the "none" folder. She can't get to it because the BrailleNote has been set into directory mode with the space-t command. She needs to go back to "folders" so she can get this file she needs for work, book2. Is there an easy way to switch from directory mode to folder mode? <sigh> This is one of the things that makes using the file system on the BN so blasted difficult! I had to futz around for a good half hour just yesterday cuz I had the same problem! What *should* happen is that one should be allowed to use directory mode to see *all* the files and folders and subfolders on a given drive. One shouldn't have to switch back and forth like a yoyo! One ought to be able to set one's mode to suit oneself and keep it there. Novices should be placed in folder mode, that's fine! But when you've got a power user who's got to get a book for work and can't because she can't switch conveniently between directory and folder mode, or to put the blasted BN into one or the other for good, then what's a body to do? I told her to write a slash when it asks for the directory, but it keeps putting her back to book1 not giving her the opportunity to go to the "none" folder. Ann P. -- Ann K.
