On Wed, 24 Dec 2003 Roselle smirked: First, Bob, help = ayuda in Spanish, not aluda, <grin>. But I think in Portuguese it's ajuda. And Bob childishly responded with a loud raspberry. <so there
I just couldn't let Roselle get by with that! Sorry for bothering the rest of the list.

Yes, you can install the multilingual software for Spanish, Italian, >German or French, a combination of any of these or even all four.

Not sure, and it's best >to check with your dealer, but the last time I checked the HumanWare price >list, it's at 249 US dollars, not including shipping. >2. Relying on the Layout Mode for the way your document would look on paper >when embossed or ink-printed isn't so reliable. If you really want to see how >it looks, including margins and tabs, etc., do the following: > a. Enter Keyword by pressing W from the Main Menu. > b. Type E to Emboss, and S for the Setup Menu. > c. Press SPACE with dot 4 (DOWN ARROW) until you get to "Embosser port". > d. Once there, type F for File then press ENTER. > e. Exit with SPACE with E (ESCAPE), press Y to confirm the changes made, > then type E to emboss. Select the drive and folder where your file is, then > press ENTER twice on the file. You will be returned to the Keyword Menu. > f. Type O to open a document. Press BACKSPACE to change drives and select > the Keysoft Systems Disk. When asked for the folder, type none without > contractions. Press ENTER and then space through the files there, pressing > ENTER again on Print to File.txt. > g. When asked if you wish to review the previous options, type Y for yes. > The first item asks if the file is a Braille or text document. Type B for > Braille, press ENTER then SPACE with E (ESCAPE) to open the document. > h. Press BACKSPACE with dots 3-6 (DELETE key) twice, to delete two > extraneous characters (the null character and tilde). I don't know why the > BN puts them there at the top of the file, but it's harmless to erase them. > You can now see how the document will be embossed, including side margins and > the tabs will be converted to the actual size in spaces. Word wrapping will > also be shown properly. >Note that when you're ready to emboss the file, you must enter the Embosser >Setup Menu again (from the Main Menu, press W, then E, and S). Move to the >setting for "Embosser Port" and either type P for Parallel or S for serial, >depending which port you will use to connect your BrailleNote to your >embosser. Press ENTER before exiting and confirming the changes. >3. There are many possible reasons why you cannot mrint from your BrailleNote >using your HP printer. First, make sure that you have selected the HP Deskjet >and Laserjet printer drive in the Printer Setup Menu. If you haven't, type W >from the Main Menu, then P and S. Move to the setting for "Printer Type". By >default, it says, "Standard, change?" Type Y for yes, then press ENTER, and >SPACE to the available options, pressing ENTER on the file for HP. >Also make sure that you have the correct port selected.
