Hello, Eugene:
I do not want to correct what you have been told, but your part
about translating with Space X confuses me. If you are
exporting, to choose your document type, you would press dots 3-4
chord, (Ctrl with Space). If you are saving an email, you would
open it, press the letter S on a BT, (Ctrl S) on a QT. You would
see the "document has not been modified" prompt. After you have
selected the drive, folder and file for this email you want to
save, you would be pressing Backspace with X, (Ctrl X). But to
answer your second part of the question, yes, your document would
be translated.

Hi Joleen, Kevin and all,
Yes, both of you are right. The problem lies in the fact that
I haven't posed my question properly. O. K.; I understand
about using the space-x to cycle through the severl document
types, but first, do they actually translate the document to the
type that is chosen, and secondly, if it does, how does the
document type know which document in the list to translate? Also,
is this the same type of translation as going to the translation
menu in the "file manager" and translating there? I hope I've
made myself clearer this time around.
Thank you in advance.
Eugenio

Joleen,
If one is wantign the information about a particular file such
as: last
modified, size, file type, and whether or not the file is
protected. One can
press space with i on the file using a BT keyboard or read with i
on a QT
unit. This will allow for the user to acquire all of the
information about
a file without transfering it and loading it onto a computer.

Hi Eugene,
I will wade back in here. First of all, Rhonda posted an
excellent
message to the list on converting or translating files from one
format to
another. Did you find it helpful?
The file extensions are created automatically by the program
that produces
them:
.doc usually Word Documents
.txt file that has no frills such as formatting, just the text
that is
written. This is often called an ASCII file format.
.brf is the braille equivalent of the .txt file. It has no
extra, hidden,
formatting code in it.
.rtf allows some simple formatting such as tabs.
Some of the files that appear to have no extension actually do
have them,
they are just not displayed by the Braille Note.
For example:
Keyword has 2 extensions:
.kwt is Keyword text document
.kwb is Keyword braille document.
I have often wondered why these extensions are not displayed. I
have
sometimes had a file with the same name, differing only in the
extension.
I have had to guess at which one is which.
If you have access to a computer, you can copy files that seem
to have no
extensions to a compact flash or SD card and check out the
seemingly
absent extensions with Windows Explorer.
One really slick feature of the BN is that it is smart enough to
know what
file type is open. One can copy a block of text to the
clipboard and
paste it into a different file type between text and braille.
Magically,
the Duxberry translator translates it behind the scene and
pastes it from
braille to print or print to braille.

Hi everyone,
Did I miss a response to Olusegon's question concerning
translation because I asked the same question a couple of days
ago and
missed that response also? What is the difference between
documents with
extensions and those without? Is it better for them to have
extensions?
I've been successful in translating documents so that they have
an
extension sometimes but unsuccessful at other times; can someone
explain
that? Is using the backspace-x or space-3-4, the latter of
which has
never worked for me, the way to find the correct type to
translate a
document or am I way off base? What is the best "document type"
that most
email people can use?
I hope I'm not breaking any Braille List regulations by asking
so many questions but here goes another anyway! I despise
"computer
braille". I can't tell you how much I abhor reading or writing
it! When I
try to press a "touch cursor" in editing a document in "computer
braille",
the lines of text actually jump and I have to go looking for the
word that
I tried to edit. I'm writing in grade 2 sometimes and all of a
sudden I
want to edit something and "computer braille" raises its ugly
head. The
jumping of lines even happens with grade 2 but not nearly as
often. Can
someone tell me what's going on? Excuse my lack of experience.
With your
help, maybe some day I'll be able to answer more questions
than I ask.
EUGENIO

Hi Everyone:
I have several books with .brf and .brl file extensions. Now, I
can't open
these correctly under Windows XP when I need to make corrections
of errors.
How can I CONVERT THESE FILES into .txt files?
I have a BrailleNote Classic, running Keysoft 5.1, Build 22--a
bit behind
the times, <smile>!
Thanks for all help!
Sincerely,
Olusegun
