I'm using Ks7.0 and I have a QWERTY keyboard. I have noticed with this
version of Keysoft that file names using periods or slashes aren't valid.
So, the safest thing is to use a hyphen instead.
BTW, according to BANA rules, dates are to be brailled as 9-5-07.
Keysoft thinks anything after a period is an extenstion and the slash refers
to directories and subdirectories. So, I guess it all makes sense.

Subject: [Braillenote] creating documents under KS 7.5
Dear BrailleNote list,
I found something rather interesting when creating a document in class
today. I will normally differentiate my lecture notes by using the date,
the format I tended to use was month.day.year, so today would be, 9.4.07.
I found out after wasting about 20 minutes in class that after pressing
the first decimal after the n9 that KeySoft was taking the rest of the
numbers following the first decimal to be a file extension. Two things
occurred from this:
1. I couldn't locate the file using keyword. I had to go through file
manager, but even then I couldn't open the file as the extension was 0407,
which isn't a valid file type.
2. After creating the document, the system came up with "review the
options?" So, I thought from here that KS 7.5 must of changed my default
wordprocessor files. I went into setup options under keyword and reentered
the file name, same issue. So, after 20 minutes of fiddling with this in
class, it dawned me that it was possible that KeySoft took the decimal as
an extension.
So as a pointer, do not use decimals when typing in file names. From here
on I will use a / or - instead of a period. I think that this is a small
enough issue that it most likely won't be fixed in the patch, but it will
be great if it was.
Kevin
