Hi Katherine, Technically, you are pressing the "wrong" command for stopping the display: when you want to stop reading, press dots 7-8 (BACKSP ACE and ENTER). Cheers, Joseph

The first thing to notice is when I was first trying this I wasn't switching speech off first. This is what I was doing: go into the user guide; press t for table of contents; can't remember the names of the sections but basically I went to the section on using KeyBase and started reading it. Once I've got to the beginning of the section I want to read I press space 1-2-4-5-6 to advance the braille display. Then I want to switch to KeyBase and try out some of the things so I stop reading with Space 1-2-4-5-6. Then when I come back into the user guide and it asks if I want to continue reading that section I say yes but it's back at the beginning of the section. Then people suggested I press one of the routing keys before exiting the user guide which I did but got the beep which usually means you're trying to do something you can't. Then when you said you switch speech off, I thought I'd try that. So after finding the section I wanted I switched speech off with space and the third navigation key and started reading with space 1-2-4-5-6. Got to the part I wanted to stop at and pressed space 1-2-4-5-6 and then one of the routing keys, then exited. This time there was no beeping sound but there was no indication of a cursor either which I thought there might be. But when I came back into the user guide and said yes to continuing reading that section, I was back at the beginning of the section again. Am I misunderstanding what to do? Is it possible to do what I want to? Does it make a difference whether speech is on or off - I can't get it to do what I want either way; but also I don't really want to turn it off, (I like the fact that when you get to the section you want it only reads a few words and then you can advance the braille display) - it's just I prefer reading the braille for longer pieces of text and following instructions, but I'm not confident enough with using the keyboard/pressing the wrong thing by accident because I only use one hand so I like having the speech set to on.
