I understand what you're saying about computer braille although I still don't know much of it. However, as to the questions, the bn doesn't display any grade 2 symbols in the file names and it uses dots 4 and 6 for a period. When I type the file name all in grade 1 it doesn't matter wheather I use the 4 and 6 for the period or the traditional 2 5 and 6 dot period. Thanks for trying to help me figure this out.
