sd stands for secure digital. It's a little tiny storage card
that fits into the slot right next to the compactflash. The slot
is just to the right of the place where you plug in your ac
adapter. Hth.

Hi Joleen,
O. K. My lack of knowing what all these adachronisms stand
for is the problem why I can't find the slider. I thought that
SAID stood for "storage" something or other. I think I don't own
an SD card and exactly what does it stand for. I've created a
list of abbreviations so eventually I won't have this trouble. I
firmly believe that the English language, and every other, will
cease to exist with anachronisms and sign language to replace it.
Already I cannot understand this generation because of talking so
rapidly, with abbreviations and piercings on there tongues. Is
there a way to protect and unprotect a CompactFlash card? I'll
investigate the SD card and hopefully I'll increase my education
somewhat. I really appreciate your efforts and I know we'll
succeed eventually. Hang in there!
Eugene

Hi Eugenio,
First, let me be sure that we are talking about the same thing
here. If
you are looking at an SD card, it does have a tiny slider that
you must use
your fingernail to move. There is not such a slider on the
compact flash
card. I believe I learned about it by reading somewhere in the
BN
manual. Right now, though, my BN has not come back to me and I
cannot
check the reference.
If you know how to put it into the BN, let's use that position as
a
reference. As you slide it out, the slider is on the edge
nearest the CF
slot. There is an indentation on that edge of the card. It is
easily felt
with your finger tips. There is also a very thin groove where
the slider
fits next to the edge of the card. Put your fingernail in that
groove and
press toward the indented part that is easily felt. A little
piece will
slide to the other end of that indentation. As you feel along
that edge of
the card, it is nearer the end that has the grooves on the flat
surface.

Hi Joleen,
I moped around felt around but I couldn't find that slider. I
asked a
few people to look for it and they couldn't find it either. Are
you
willing to try again. I'm surprised that there wasn't any
manual or
description otherwise how would one know about it. I'm usually
pretty
good at finding these hideaways but failed miserably on this
one.

Hi Eugenio
Perhaps with the explanations that have been written since my
last post on
this subject, you have been able to understand about "None". For
the sake
of thoroughness, let me give it another try, and then stay tuned
for a
possible answer to your second question about unprotecting files.
When a storage card is purchased and has nothing on it, you have
the option
of putting all your files on the card without any folders. This
would mean
that all your files would be lumped together in one huge list.
The problem
with this is that it takes longer to find the file you want and
the BN
takes longer to bring up the list of all those file names. All
the files
at this point would be in the root directory. (A directory is
another name
for a folder). This would be like dumping all your papers into
the drawer
of a file cabinet without sorting them in any way. Thankfully,
the BN does
alphabetize them in the list it brings up. When the BN offers
"None" and
you choose it, you will see all the files that are stored without
being put
in a folder or dorectory. Perhaps it would be more clear if it
said "Files
with no folder" instead of "None", but this would be far too long
a phrase.
This is also where the first level of folders are created. On
the
computer, these folders and files would all appear in a single
list in the
list view of Windows Explorer. The BN, though, lets you view
your folders
or it gives you the option "None" to view the files without
folders.
For matters of sorting, we can create folders where we can put
files that
are similar in some way. In my case, I have one called hymnal.
All hymns
are placed there. Another is called bltns and all my church
bulletins are
put there. That way, when I go looking for a file, it narrows my
choices. I like to use relatively short folder names that are
meaningful
to me. My advice is to store all files in folders. However, you
may get a
storage card with a file in the root directory. Then choose
"None" to find
it.
Now for your second question:
You said that sometimes a file says it is protected and going to
the file
manager and unprotecting it is not successful. My first thought
is to ask
where the file is stored. If you have it on an SD card, for
example, it is
possible to protect all the files on the card by pressing a
little slider
on the edge of the card. If you hold the card so that the ridges
along one
end are on the right side and facing away from you, you can use
your
fingers to find the slider. It will be on the edge farthest away
from you,
the edge that does not have the corner cut off. You can use a
fingernail
to locate this little slider and slide it toward or away from the
grooved
end of the card. One way protects it and one way unprotects it.
I don't
have access to my BN right now to confirm which direction is
which, but I
believe that sliding it away from the grooves protects all the
files on the
card. The advantage to this is to keep yourself or anyone else
from
accidently modifying or deleting any information stored on the
entire card.

Hi Ann, Ali, Joleen, Joe, Kandi,
Ureka! I used the BrailleNote's prompt to erase "views and
opinions" in
the folder manager in the subdirectory, where I've never been
except
unknowingly by accident, and it disappeared. Now, I'm home
free. JOLEEN, should I get rid of the "none" root or folder or
whatever
it is? I never had it explained the way you did but I'm still
not clear
about it.
2 questions: Why, going through the book reader in the "none"
I have 3
file; in the file manager I find 3 files; in the word processor
I can
only access 2.
Question 2: Why, when trying to edit a document I'm told by
the
BrailleNote that the document is protected; when I go to the
file
manager it also tells me that the file is protected; I then
press u and
it doesn't unprotect it.
Thank you again.
Eugenio
