Hi Sean,
I think the only way round it is the Bible separated into
individual books.
It is possible that the find is just taking a long time, but I
doubt it.
You could chop it up on the BN, but it might not work--if you
moved a book to the clipboard, I'm sure that wouldn't be too big,
but it's the remainder of the file that it then has to save--try
it though.
If you have a PC, you could send the file there, break it into
books, and send it back.
There are various Internet sites, can't remember where--Alex made
one--you could copy books from one of them perhaps.
I could send you the books as attachments if you like.
Regards,
Steve.

Subject: [Braillenote] Find locks up.
Hello,
I am experiencing a problem with the find command within the
Bible as it locks up after I tell it to search forward. It locks
up and the only way to fix that problem is a reset. That's
irritating in the middle of a Bible study for a perfectionest
like me. I have a theory that the lock up is because the Bible is
such a big file. Is this the problem or something else? If a file
is too big and probably going to freeze up the BrailleNote, then
I'd rather get a warning message beforehand asking me if I want
to continue. Otherwise it can be very disconcerting. Can anyone
help with this? I need something to work. this big Bible would be
great if I were to read it from beginning to end, but I'm a Bible
study leader and have to have a working Bible or no Bible at all
on the BN. Anything else in the midst of a Bible study is
disruptive to me especially, and I imagine the others as well.
Any help or suggestions in this matter would be wonderful.
If it turns out that the find command won't work with such a big
file, then is there a way to get the thing broken down into
individual books? If I start the process of breaking down the
Bible into individual books, would just working with such a big
file and doing any block commands also lock the BN up and cause
me to have to reset? I just ned something that works efficiently
for Bible studies. How do I know that I've gotten a file that's
doo big for the BN to handle? For the Bible studies, would I be
better offf just grabbing the passage off the internet and
pasting it into my notes/questions, or is there an even more
effective way?
Sean of many questions
