I am also a student, in my second year of college for computer science. I have had a braillenote for six years now (in a few months anyway). Don't worry about asking basic questions; we all have to start somewhere. I mean, it took me until just this year to discover something about the file manager that has been there since the bn was first introduced in 2000! Just so we all know: what kind of bn do you have? That is, does it have a braille keyboard (called a bnbt) or a print keyboard (called a bnqt)? This helps a lot when giving keystrokes to perform. Sorry if I missed this in one of your earlier messages.
