Hi Donna, Here's the sentence I'm not understanding: "Then, I press ENTER on the list, pick the letters, and press ENTER again." Therefore, here are instructions for how to use Web-Braille.
The URL is: www.loc.gov/nls/braille. Type it into the Address Bar of KeyWeb, and press ENTER. You should be presented with the "Enter Network Password" dialog box. Type in your User Name and Password, move to the OK button, and press ENTER to activate it. Shortly after, you should be presented with a page whose title is "Web-Braille" (without the quotes). Press O to move to the "Online Catalog" link, and press ENTER to activate it. By default, you're presented with the Quick Search. You can use whichever search form you wish. Put in the required info, activate the Search button by pressing ENTER on it, and you will see your results. Move to the appropriate link for the first volume (assuming there is more than one) of the book, press ENTER to activate it, and when the book finishes downloading, you'll hear a URL which is identical to that which was the title of the link you clicked. Regardless of whether the contents of the book appear on this page, press [SPACE with S], [CONTROL with S] to save it, choose a location, and when typing in the file name, type a .brf extension (using Computer Braille if using a BT). For the next volume, the quickest thing to do now is to press [ENTER with O], [CONTROL with O], and when presented with the Address Bar, press [SPACE with dots 4-6], [FUNCTION with RIGHT ARROW] to move to the end of the address which is presented to you, the one which contains volume 1 of the book; use [SPACE with dot 3], [READ with M or LEFT ARROW] to move back by character past the .brf extension to the number 1, press [SPACE with dots 3-6], [CONTROL with COMMA or DELETE key] to delete the number 1, and type in a 2. Press ENTER, and when you have reached the page, save it as described above. Repeat the procedure until you have all volumes. Note that the volume numbers in the address are 01 for Volume 1, 02 for Volume 2, etc., so if the book has more than 9 volumes, you will have to change both digits of the number. If you're saying that you are having trouble loading the Web-Braille home page or the Quick Search page, I would suggest deleting temporary files and clearing cookies before trying again. To do this, press [ENTER with M], [CONTROL with 2] for the Internet Options Menu; I can't remember whether these two options are found directly within the menu or under the Internet File Management submenu of that menu in v4 but they will be in one of those two places. Navigate to either "Clear Cookies" or "Delete Temporary Internet Files", press ENTER on it, and you will hear the word "cleared" spoken when the process is complete, at which point you should re-enter the Internet Options Menu to select the other option you didn't initially select. Clearing cookies and deleting temp files every so often will help KeyWeb's performance. Personally, I haven't had any trouble with the loading of Web-Braille pages, and they've loaded relatively quickly.
