Hi Eugene:
Since most of what you receive is written in Computer Braille,
the cursor is never exactly where you think it is. If it makes
it easier, use dot 6 chord to move forward a letter at a time, or
dot 3 chord to move back a letter at a time.
In answer to your dot 4 chord question, this reads a line at a
time. It will quit reading at punctuation or a line break.
You'd need to press it again, if you're reading lines. You can
press M chord to see if you are at sentence and paragraph reading
mode. That is generally where I keep it, unless I need to read
columns or something.
Good luck with this, and keep asking questions.
By the way, remember to free your database space after sending a
group of email to the trash. That may help you some.
Kindest Regards,

Subject: [Braillenote] BrailleNote is sleeping, and,touch cursors
don't respond as they should
hi ronda, Joe and all,
I have finally delved into the world of blocking. However, I'm
running into some trouble in the process although I've had this
problem before I tried blocking. When i try to mark the
beginning of the block or the end, the line in which the word
that I'm marking with the touch cursor sometimes jumping down a
line which means that I have to go back up a line to see if the
correct word is marked. Sometimes I can't even mark the right
letter, it's like fighting a force. You might be thinking that
maybe I'm not pushing down the right touch cursor but I am very
accurate with that process. I've tried the space-x to turn "view
off" and that helps a little but it continues to mark a letter
that I don't want.
Also, for the past 4 days while using the BrailleNote all of a
sudden it begins to take anywhere from 10 to 15 seconds to
execute a command. When you have 50 to a hundred email to
download, you can figure out how much time it takes. It normally
takes a little over 1 second each. Fortunately, a regular reset
without holding down any keys solves the problem but what do you
think is going on with this and the touch cursors. I have the
6.11 update for a couple of weeks now from Classic 5.1, if that
makes any difference.
I was just reminded of another question because it just
happened. Why, when I read with space-4 I cannot go to the end
of the sentence. I have to use the thumb keys to do that. Is
that normal?
Eugenio
