Hello,
Below is a copy of a message I sent to the action and info addresses. I typed this message in contracted braille two, and most of the contractions did not convert to a readable format. Al, anyone listening to this message or reading it with their fingers will find that the contractions have become new words. In example using the y for you, at the beginning of the sentence, the y becomes "ally" because of the dot six in front of it. The word after using the letters af sounds like aft, al for also becomes al and the th sign for this becomes th. Something is not translating correctly. I always spell check my messages and make sure that all words are spelled correctly. When I proof-read here, everything looks and sounds exactly as I wrote it, but after transmitting the recipient gets a very badly translated copy. With translations like these, I'll be back to typing in braille one, which is slow and awkward and should never be necessary with a BrailleNote. Al, these terrible translations will make it very difficult for me to submit my school work to my professor. C anything be done about this?

Hello, ally are absolutely correct in this observation. I receive three newspapers each day by e-mail and I've always saved them in a folder on my compact flash card for later reading. Td, after installing Keysoft 7.5, my newspapers were not saved. Checking the word count in my Washington Post, the paper in my INBOX contained 53708 words. The item saved to my compact flash card contained 15 words. I saved my papers to the compact flash card as I've always done: space with s, then backspace twice to select a drive. Using backspace with x, I selected my file type and pressed the enter key. I was prompted to choose between opening the document or not, after saving. Pressing the enter key, I let the machine beep until I'm returned to the paper in the INBOX. Imagine my surprise when I found no papers on the compact flash card today. Th process has allowed me to save my papers for more than two years, and now I discover I won't be able to use this method with Keysoft 7.5. Af upgrading to Keysoft 7.5, in order to save my paper I was required to copy it to the clip board, create a file, and then paste my paper in that file for later reading. W a patch be created to allow us to save documents using the process I described above again? To have to copy documents from the INBOX to the clipboard and then paste them into a file on a card in the word processor seems to have moved at least one operation back four or five years, or before Keysoft 4.0. I've discovered a few things in Keysoft 7.5 that are useful to me, and I really appreciate HumanWare's effort to make this all possible, but I don't consider having to copy and paste things from my INBOX to my word processor acceptable. Al, copying and pasting long documents from the INBOX to the word processor is time consuming and depending on the document's length copying and pasting may not be possible. Please let me know that someone is working on a fix for this, and the fix will not be part of the next upgrade.
Thank you,
Sammie Clay

There is an interesting thing about 7.5. For those of us who have always moved our saved email to another drive and folder, at this time, it cannot be done. There is no readable information.
