Hi Nicola,
An interesting behavior. For testing, I was able to assign o stroke to DOTS 1-3-5-8 - with no problems. I'm using 8 dot computer braille. The "exception" message sounds like a memory confusion on behalf of Apex. The phrase "access violation reading 0" means that KeySoft was trying to read from so-called "NULL" pointer/value - an undefined location on memory. As Alex suggested, try reassigning the key combinations after reset.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [Braillenote] Unicode characters: Assigning dot combinations stillbroken in Keysoft 9.1

Hi all,

Despite what Humanware claims in the release notes for Keysoft 9.1, there are still problems with the assignment of dot combinations to certain unicode characters on the Apex BT. For example, when I tried assigning a dot combination to the character "o stroke", I received the following error message:
"Exception command: 404 at 3595.  Access violation reading 0"

I sent a detailed message to Humanware about this problem after the release of the Apex, and I was unable to trade in my Classic because of it, since as a linguist I just can't afford to relinquish this option. I was optimistic that it might have been resolved by now, but alas, 'tis not to be, and my Classic lives to fight another day!! I haven't had time for detailed tests, but there may well be problems with key assignments as well as dot assignments in some circumstances. I don't mean to sound arrogant, but I can't help wishing that Humanware would have these so-called "fixes" tested by users who have plenty of experience with the bugs in question and may just conceivably know what they're talking about, before releasing an upgrade which turns out not to have solved the problems.

OK, rant over! If anyone can shed any light on the meaning of the error message, I'd appreciate it.

Best,

Nicky
