Hey, this sounds great. I was just wondering yesterday how I could take a bunch of braille files with no extension and add a .brf extension to them so that my Apex will see them without my having to switch the file filter. It sounds like I should be able to use a "ren" command with wildcards to do this. Doesn't the result of the command get displayed to some equivalent of the console on the Braille Note? That having to force standard output to a file and look at it later seems a tad crude.

It is a way of issuing Windows commands. BN users generally use it to search for files, unhide or hide files, and run ipconfig. Basically, you issue a standard Windows command (well, only a small subset are supported), with a greater-than sign followed by a path/filename.ext (generally .txt) to which to print output. For example, this will unhide file.doc in the general folder: /c attrib -h "flash disk\general\file.doc" > "flash disk\success.txt" 2> "flash disk\err.txt" It is not overly useful, but for computer geeks it is fun to use and is sometimes useful to find files.
