Hi, Rhonda. Here is one problem I am having. Hopefully, you will have an idea.
I have my hymn book on my bp qt so I don't have to carry braille with me to
church. This works pretty well most of the time. However, if I am singing
an unfamiliar hymn, I may run into a problem.
I use my thumb keys to read line by line as I am singing. So, I sing verse
one and then get to the chorus. Next comes verse two. Now, I need to
quickly get back to the chorus because I am not familiar with it. After
that, I am going to have to quickly get to verse three and so on.
All verses and the corus are separated with two blank lines.
If I press read with seven after singing verse three, It doesn't take me
back to the chorus, but back to verse one. Once I do that the first time,
every thing works using read with seven and nine, but is there a better way?

Hi, Paul:
I hope this is the information you need. Most of the good cursor
information is in chapter seven.
When you are dealing with text organized in sentences and paragraphs then
commands to move the cursor by sentence or paragraph are very useful. For
example: READ with O moves the cursor to the beginning of the next
sentence; READ with 9 moves the cursor to the beginning of the next
paragraph. This mode is referred to as "Sentence and Paragraph reading
mode." However when working with poetry or lists, for example, moving a
line at a time is more useful than moving a sentence. To allow the most
efficient cursor movement for the text you are working with, KeySoft
provides 3 cursor movement modes. These affect the operation of the READ
with U, I, and O keys and also the READ with 7-8-9 keys. The operation of
CONTROL with I and CONTROL with 8 key commands also changes. There are
two other reading modes that are useful in different situations. If you
select Line Reading Mode, the previous reading commands act as follows:
READ with O reads the next line; READ with 9 reads the !
next section. In Line Reading Mode, the word "section" has a specific
meaning. The "Current Section" starts at the last blank line before the
cursor, and continues until the first blank line after the
cursor. Similarly, the "Next Section" starts at the first blank line
after the cursor, and continues until the following blank line. Line Mode
is useful when you are concerned with the layout of the document. Among
other purposes, it's a good way of checking for blank lines. The third
Reading Mode is called Column Reading Mode, and acts as follows: READ with
O moves the cursor down a line but keeping it in the same column. It
reads the current word on this line; READ with 9 reads the next
section. Column Mode is effective for reviewing text that is laid out in
a table. It allows you to move up or down a column in a table, reading
entries one at a time. Although we have only given two examples, the
current Cursor Movement Mode affects all reading commands that relate to !
sentences and paragraphs. This is also true for deletion commands. For
instance, in Sentence and Paragraph mode, CONTROL with I deletes to the
end of the sentence, but in Line Mode it deletes to the end of the
line. The Cursor Movement Mode also affects the Quick Mark commands in
the Block Menu. To change the Cursor Movement Mode, press READ with
S. The mode cycles around with each press, and KeySoft displays the
corresponding mode. 7.7 Moving to the Start of the Next Line. It is
possible to move the cursor to the first position on the next line without
inserting a New Line in the document. To do this, press READ with
ENTER. KeySoft says "New Line" or "Line Break" followed by the first word
on the next line. 7.8 Moving to the Next Tab. It is possible to move the
cursor to the next tab position without inserting a tab into the
document. To do this, press READ with APOSTROPHE. KeySoft will move the
cursor to the next tab position and display the word under the curso!
r. Note that this command jumps to the next tab position, regardless of
whether there is actually a tab indicator in the text.
