Joseph; Where did you ever hear of capitalizing a file name. You do not even have to do that on a computer. That is crazy. Computer braille uses regular letters, lower case numbers and special characters for punctuation. terry Powers

Before I answer the first question, I'll answer the second. Actually, it is in a code known as computer braille. If you don't know that computer braille is: the computer braille is used whre computing-related information should be embossed. Many devices these days (BrailleNote, PAC Mate, etc.) use this code to display some contents on the screen, such as file names, manu names, etc. When you are viewing file names, you should see a funny-looking symbol. This should be read dots 4-6, but, in reality, it is a point to differtiate between file name and its associated file extension. That is why it seems that file names are in grade 1. Secondly, when you try to open the file, make sure that you use the correct characters. I'll give you two examples: 1. You have a file named docs. You have capitalized all four letters e.g. DOCS. When you try to open a file, be sure that you write all uppercase letters (in this example, you should capitalize all four letters.). 2. You have a file named documents, but you used contraction dots 5-6 followed by t. It is recommended that you use grade 1 braille to open a file. This will ensure that BrailleNote wwon't be confused between a punctuation (in this case, a semicolon) or a contraction (in this case, ment.). I hope this informaiton may help you. P.S. If you want to know more about file extensions, search the BrailleNote List archives on November or December archives (or October.). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Terry Sanders Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 4:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Braillenote] file name confusion Hello all, I just got a braille note classic three days ago and I have a couple of questions that I hope you all can answer. First, When I try to open a file in the word processor it prompts me for a file name. No matter what I type, even when I'm absolutely sure that the file is there, it says the document does not exist, do you want to create it? Second, why are all the file names that the braille note lists always in grade one braille? Please excuse my lack of knowledge and experience with the bn. Thanks.
