Hi,
It is hidden because it's a clipboard file with no accidental
modification intended. This file requires same procedure for
opening it (by showing hidden files) as with the case with
computer braille files.
For the word copying workaround, I think there is a faster way
than modifying clipboard store which works directly at a prompt:
1. Go to a prompt where you wish to paste a word (or words) from
the dictionary, such as file open prompt.
2. When the prompt is displayed, go to dictionary/thesaurus
(ENTER with lower D or ENTER with TH sign; QT would be CTRL with
Shift with D for dictionary or CTRL with Shift with T) and look
up a word.
3. When the word you are looking for has been found, open its
definitions. Then press BACKSPACE with I to paste the word to
the prompt itself.
4. At the prompt, you'll see the word from the dictionary
proceeded by a grade two sign. Press SPACE with K to go to start
of the text entry, BACKSPACE with DOTS 3-6 to delete grade sign
and press BACKSPACE with K to copy the word (or words) to the
clipboard.
Thus, we've achieved clipboard file modification without having
to open clipboard file itself.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [Braillenote] I figured out how to copy a word from the
dictionaryto the clipbord
Hi. I got it! I figured out how to copy a word from the
dictionary to the clipboard. :) You go in to the none folder on
the flash disk and press space with x to get to the list of
hidden files. Then you open up the file called keysoft and
delete
what ever is in there. Then you look up the word you want and
press enter to read its definition. Then you press backspace
with
i to insert the word in to the file. Then exit the file and
there
you go. The word is in the clipboard and you can press backspace
with v to paste it in to file or folder name prompts and stuff.
You can also use this trick with the thesaurus. Do any of you
technical people out there know how to make that file on the none
folder of the flash disk called keysoft be not hidden? Thank you.
