Hi Terry,

Hi Ann; Thanks for the info. How would you write an equation. $value+value = value I think the problem you're running into here is that the BN has to know which symbols you're using for what purposes. In Braille, as you know, there are symbols which are the same, but they have different meanings depending on where you use them. For example dots 2-3-6 can mean an opening quotation mark or it can mean the word his or it can mean the number 8. this is why when you write an equation, you need to do that in computer Braille in order for the BN to read it correctly. So, if you want to write an equation in your keyword document, you need to switch to computer Braille and write the numbers in Nemeth code. This will allow the BN to read the numbers you add correctly. If you use the grade 2, then you will need to put the number sign before each number. Just change to computer Braille by using the space-o g command. It's really simple and you can write your formulae. Just be sure to use the lower case numbers and the equal sign is the 'for' sign all six dots. Ann P. Ann K. Parsons Portal Tutoring [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.eznet.net/~akp I am not using the calculator. I just want to log the numbers. They are easy enough to add in my head. Why is such an easy thing so hard. I thought this would help me learn my editing commands. Thanks.

Hi all, Terry, the discussion on the different file types is found in the chapter on the File Manager. It is 13.6. It lists the various file types there. Good luck. Let me know if I can clarify at all. BTW, ASCII is spelled a s c i i. I forget what it stands for, but it is how it's spelled. If you need to find it while researching, looking for the right spelling will help. It's like a lot of these acronyms. I was astonished when I saw the word SCSI for the first time. I thought it was spelled like how you look after you've been traveling for a day in airports and on buses and so on. <smile> That word is indeed skuzzy. HTH, Ann P. Ann K.

Hi Terri; Is there somewhere in the manual that will give me a good description of the different types of documents like aski, tesk, braille and so on? I need to know how to identify them.
