Hi again Lois, You won't need to worry much about entering in computer braille with a qwerty keyboard since you are entering similar to a PC by default. Use the word at a time and see if you find a text only field. If not, someone with a qwerty keyboard will need to help you with detecting edit fields. Believe me! You can do this!

I should have mentioned that I have a qt. The other thing is, I don't know computer Braille. That's okay though. I can do the magazines and when I can afford it, I will join Bookshare. Thanks again for all your help. I do appreciate it.

If you think you are close to that edit field, use read words command or dot five with spacebar. When it asks for the author, last name first, watch closely for something that says text input or text input end. You must write what you are searching for in computer braille. Once you have entered what you are looking for, find the go search button or whatever they call it. Names of search buttons vary from site to site. You may need to wade through stuff at the top of the page or you can do a find command (spacebar with F to take you where you need to go. When I'm reading braille books or magazines, I go to those sections so I get what is truly available through NLS only and those items which have been brailled as of last August I believe. Others may have a better answer though!

Is there an easy to search for a book, using the online catalog? I can't seem to find an edit field in which to type. I've red the part of the user manual, but I can't find an answer. I'm going to know that manual by heart by the time I get it all figured out.

Once you are reading your magazine, press spacebar with S to save your file. You will be prompted for the folder and file name. I usually use the NLS number as my file name and if it is in more than one part, I add V01, V02 etc to the same number with the dot BRF extension. Once you have saved your file, press the back control (enter with B) to go back to the previous link which is the agreement, and type the back control again and you will be at the list of the titles of your favorite magazine. Select the next part and press enter. You are back to the agreement. Accept the agreement and you are in the next part as before. Be sure to select the notetaker link of course. Keep doing this till you have downloaded the complete issue of the magazine.

I get as far as reading the agreement and accepting best for notetakers. When I push the button, nothing happens. I don't get any prompts. I can then read it online, but no download happens. Am I missing something? At this point, I can't go back or forward. Any help or ideas would be most appreciated.
