Since no one else has done so, I will attempt to answer some of your questions. Importing is used to import a file of a different file type into a keysoft file. This might be useful if you wish to use place markers or, more importantly, translate it to grade two braille. You would do this with a Microsoft word file, for instance. Exporting does the opposite, and is used when you want to turn a file created in keyword into a Microsoft word or other kind of file for use on a PC. Translate between braille and text translates a braille document into keyword text format , which is the format used when printing. I have found this useful when I need to know how long a document is going to be in print, since the dots 125 command only gives your position in braille when in a keyword braille document. Hope this helps.
