Rhonda; I DID IT!
There was a space between the dot 4 and the plus sign. What a lot of hard work for such a little task. Thanks to everyone for all your help. I guess some other new comers learned a lot about numbers in the last two days. You all want to hear some good news, my metro access driver made a contribution of $10.00 instead of ordering some nuts. I don't think I have ever gotten a contribution of more than maybe a $1.00 before. Thanks again. The dot works the ing works and the full cell works.

If you are writing in grade two, it will read "for" instead of equals. If you are writing in grade two and write dots 3-4-6 without putting the dot four, it will read "ing". > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected] >Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 15:41:48 -0400 >Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Computer Braille numbers >Hi everyone; >I put the full cell sign in for the equal and it read for. >One of you mentioned putting a dot 4 before the signs.
