Hi Roselle, In my BT manual for KeySoft 5, the switch-on commands are documented in section 1.15.3 of the User Guide, and the section is titled "Start-Up Braille and Speech Mode". It's in the section called "General Functions" in the "Getting Started" chapter, Chapter 1. I've only had the BrailleNote since KS 4.01, so I'm not sure about the Readme files; however, I think I remember seeing the commands somewhere in the KeySoft 4 manual, but I don't think it was in a specific section because it was pretty hard to find.

The f >>d and s keys on the QT seem to correspond with the dots 1 2 and 3 keys on the >>BT respectively (at least that's the way it worked out when I did Braille >>input using my PC and Duxbury). I'm also led to believe this because it said >>in a Readme file which had both BT and QT commands that a reset with dots 1 >>through 3 held down was equivalent to a reset with f d and s held down.
