Hi as for your e-mail address, do a backspace j on the bt keyboard, don't
know what to do for the qwerty version sorry, and it should say grade 0 and
you can type using computer braile and when you are done, do a backspace b
and you shoud be back in grade 2 and can type that way. As fo the edit
fields, I do my password and do a space 4 6 to get to the next field and
after that do it until you see a submit button or something and hit ener on
the the button. That will hopefully work for you

Hi all,

I have had so much fun teaching myself to use the BN email program.  It's
been great, and now I am trying to use the web browser.  By the way, before
I get into my web questions, how would I write an email address in the body
of a message on the braille note?  For example, I often type my email
address below my name at the end of my messages, so that people who are
still new to using screen readers and who may not know how to find the email
headers, can see my email address if they want to reply personally.  But of
course, when writing in grade 2 braille on the BN, the symbols for computer
signs will come out as gibberish when read back on a regular PC.  Should I
just write it in computer braille, using the U chord before the period and
at sign?

Ok, now to the browser.  I tried going to a favorite site of mine,
audible.com.  On my PC, there is a cookie, so audible recognizes me when I
go to their site.  This is good for me so I don't have to log in to browse
or go through my wish list or buy books.  So, I went to audible a couple
times over the last few days with the BN.  It goes there fine.  But of
course, I have to sign in to access my account stuff.  I read the BN manual
three times to be sure I'm doing everything right.  i found the edit field
for my username and password.  I remembered the manual said press enter
after typing text in an edit field, so i typed my username and pressed
enter.  The braille display said, please wait, 0 percent for about five
minutes, and I gave up.  When I tried again, i tried typing in the username
and password before pressing enter.  again it said please wait and 0
percent.  I went away, fed my dog, let her outside to relieve, got some red
wine ... you know, gave things time to happen.  when I returned to the BN,
it had the same message, please wait 0 percent.

Ok, i'm sure I've missed something.  i'm good with written instructions, but
since the BN works quite differently than the PC, i've probably forgotten to
do something.  Any ideas what?  i'm still on my trip, and i'd like to be
able to use the BN for the web, so my friend can have lots of time to
practice the things I'm teaching her on the PC.  I will be ever so grateful
for any ideas.  Thanks!

Sherry
