Hey Alex,
I have been considering porting some computer braille files over from my old braille n speak to the Apex. In several of these bns files I used a double dollar sign followed by some text in various places to allow me to quickly find sections of interest. Since the Humanware note takers use the computer braille dollar sign, same as the grade 2 ed sign, as the start of a format indicator, I wondered if placing these files on my Apex would cause problems. Before I port them over should I use find and replace on my bns to change the double dollar signs to some other combination, like double percent or something similar to avoid having KeySoft trying to interpret those dollar signs as some kind of format indicator? Are these format indicators only used in ksb and kst files? If so, I guess as long as I keep the files as .txt files, it should not be a problem.

Thanks
Richard Ehrler

Yep, it looks good here. Those numbers, you will notice, come after an ed sign and a g. The ed sign is a symbol in keyword which indicates some sort of formatting indicator; ed sign p is a new line, ed sign f is a new page, ed sign lge is language (lg) English (e), and so on. In
this case, you see ed sign g 0, which is an indicator for grade 0
(computer braille), then ed sign g 2, symbolizing grade 2. These
indicators do not show up in print at all, they just tell you and the
bn that the grade has changed.
