First of all, thanks Laura for your help. I tried it and it worked just fine. Now I have a further question. If you want you can write me off list. After using this method and reading the file once, can you save it so that you can re-read it easily or do you have to jump through the hoop each time you need to read an htm file? I'm also noticing that if I save an msg file from the desktop computer I can't read it on the BN. I currently send and receive e-mail using my desktop, but there are things that I've saved over a period of time that I'd like to have access to in Braille. I feel really stupid for asking these questions but I don't seem to have much luck finding this sort of information, and just so you know, I do save a good many of the e-mails from this list. Thanks for your help. God bless! Paula Jordan and Tex

I was waiting to see if more than one person wanted a response to this before I wrote, but since 3 people have asked, I will write down instructions again. The web browser can handle html documents, that you can open through the internet options menu. However, instead of doing that, you can do the following: 1. From within the email, hit space with dots 123 (read with t) to go to the top of the file. Press space with b (control with b), to enter the block menu and press t for top of block marker insertion. 2. Hit space with dots 456 (read with b), to go to the bottom of the document. Reenter the block menu and press s to store the block. 3. Select a drive and folder. When prompted for the file name, give it a .htm extension. 4. Next, enter the web browser by pressing backspace, enter, and i (function with 0) Press space to enter the favorites menu. 5. Hit backspace and select the proper folder that you've saved the document in. 6. Hit space with x (read with x), so you hear (all braille and htm documents in (foldername)" You may then select your document and read it, without having to actually log onto the net, which is what you would have to do if you wanted to read an html document through the internet option;. Note that I previously discussed a different and longer method to saving html documents, yet Roselle provided this simpler one. Since I read all messages, I am now able to pass on this consolidated method to you. HTH, Laura "The most important job is not to be governor, or first lady in my case." (George W.
