Desiree and Natasha, growing bigger and bigger every day!!! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joseph Lee Sent: Monday, September 04, 2006 2:51 PM To: 'Braillenote List' Subject: [BrailleNote] Readme for KeySoft 7.2 Dear list members, Someone from the list gave me the link to the KeySfot 7.2 readme file. Here is the actual contents: Readme For KeySoft 7.2 KeySoft 7.2 contains several new features. For details, please refer to the What's New section of the User Guide. If you are a Classic or mPower user, please be aware that some important changes have been made to the information regarding the battery. It is important to condition your battery regularly. Please check the What's New section of the User Guide for more details. There are two sections below. 'Supplementary Information for the User Guide' provides corrections to, and additional information not included in the KeySoft 7.2 User Guide. 'List of Software Improvements' details the improvements made to the software with the release of KeySoft 7.2. Supplementary Information for the User Guide. 1. This correction applies to the 'Searching for Format Indicators' section of the 'Word Processor' chapter. If you want to change the format of paragraphs, you may need to locate new line indicators. The command for searching for a new line indicator is SPACE with dots 2-6 (CONTROL with ENTER). 2. When opening a document in the File Manager, you may need to browse through a list of folders and file names to find the one you want. To browse a sub-directory, follow these steps: A. From the Main Menu, press F for File Manager and then D for Directory. B. Change from folder to directory by pressing SPACE with T (CONTROL with T). C. KeySoft prompts: "Directory name?." Either press SPACE and search through the list of folders until you find the one you want, or if you have many folders to search through, type the path instead. You will now be able to view the first level of folders. D. Move down the list of folders an press ENTER once you find the sub-folder you want. KeySoft will now prompt: "Directory name? Press ENTER for /downloads." Now either press ENTER to select the downloads or return to the list of downloads and select My Subdirectory at the next level down. E. KeySoft will display the subdirectory in /downloads, for example, "test". Press ENTER to select "test" and KeySoft will prompt: "Directory name? Press ENTER for /downloads/test." If you press ENTER at this point and "test" is the last subdirectory in the list, KeySoft will prompt: "List of files in (directory name)?." The only problem with browsing a sub-directory using the method described above, is that once you access a sub-directory, you're stuck there until you back out. To browse the directory tree without getting stuck in a sub-directory, press SPACE with dots 5-6 (RIGHT ARROW) or SPACE with dots 2-3 (LEFT ARROW). If you are in a sub-directory and want to move up a level, press SPACE with dots 2-3 (LEFT ARROW) and KeySoft will move up a level. For example, from /downloads/test to /downloads. To move up yet another level, press SPACE with dots 2-3 (LEFT ARROW) again. To browse sub-directories from within a directory, press SPACE with dots 5-6 (RIGHT ARROW.) 3. Most application management happens from the Internet Options menu. This is accessible when you are in KeyWeb, either on a web page or a locally stored document, by pressing BACKSPACE with O (CONTROL with 2.) One of the available options is called 'File Download Options'. From the File Download Options List you have the choice of turning "Stream Audio Links" on (the default) or off. To allow for the streaming of audio links, ensure that "Stream Audio Links" is on. If you want to download an mP3 file, you need to turn "Stream Audio Links" off. List of Software Improvements.

The link for KeySoft 7.2 page can be found at: http://www.humanware.com/resources/keysoft7.2upgrade.asp This page includes this readme, as well as the installer itself, and the installation instructions for mPower, PK and the Classic (I would say that the installation procedure is somewhat more detailed than that of 7.0). I hope this information may help you. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
