If you want to write a .txt doc using a BT keyboard, you can write it in computer braille, yuck, or you could export or save the kwb doc as .txt.
Even though you have the default for new files set for ASCII text, you are still running KeyWord. If a person happens to be using a BT keyboard and they also have a copy of Duxbury on their PC, they could create .brf files from scratch setting up the BN to use that format by default, and they could read them on their PC using DBT (or any other braille translation software). And when the BN is in the shop, the BT user could write braille on a PC using DBT. The PC keyboard would become a six-key keyboard and the home keys become braille keys. There is also a feature which will automatically translate the document line by line so WE or shark users could read the braille doc using speech. (You could also translate the document into text if you wanted to). Terri Pannett, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA. Army MARS call sign AAT9PX, California
