Dear Alex and Listors:
Alex, what a wonderful answer and set of steps you gave Michel on
the topic, "regarding reading HTML files."
However, a surprise. Even though I have 25 or 30 U R L sites on
my Favorites List, none showed up as HTML files when I followed
your easy steps. But there is from my viewpoint another
question. It's what the heck does HTTP and HTML really mean?
I I did a little research tonight, and am here sending a couple
of very brief definition attachments if anyone is interested. I
got them by way of my braille keyboard Empower Voice Note and
Google search. And I am here sending a third attachment of my
own creation. It offers my humble attempt at creating an analogy
to distinguish HTTP and HTML in every-day layman's terms. Yes,
I must have too much time on my hands.
But here's my question for you, Alex, or anyone else who might
care to answer. Why would a user like me want to fool around
calling web pages HTML or HTTP files? It seems to me HTML is
most often thought of as simply meaning a page copied off a web
site. But technically, they are languages not pages, I believe.
But somewhere I'm mixed up, obviously. Thanks again for your
many responses and technical savvy.
Sincerely,
David

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Reading HTML Files
1. Open keyweb so that you are at the "address" prompt.
2. Press backspace to select a folder, just like anywhere else
in
keysoft; think of the "address" prompt as the "file to open"
prompt in
keyword, or a similar prompt anywhere you have to select a file.
3. Once you have chosen the folder and are back at the "address"
prompt, press space to see "list of favorites in folderName
folder".
4. Press space-x (read-x I think) until you see "list of all
html,
text, and braille documents in folderName folder".
5. Find the html file to be read and press enter. You may save
the
file as a favorite like any other webpage if you want to.

Hi listers. Could someone outline the steps for reading an HTML
file on the BN? I know you need a web browser but how does one
locate the files from Keyweb?
Thanks.
