Sarai and Ronda, In a kwb or other Braille file, you will always have to indicate with a computer Braille symbol or dot 4 [if it's just for one character] if subsequent entries are not to be contracted or in computer Braille. Although it's correct that a slash would be written either in computer Braille in a txt or kwt document, without having to use either the dot 4 or computer Braille markings, it could differ how you write it in email messages, depending on whether you are writing in the headers, where you have to use computer Braille, which will there result in a slash even if you do not use the computer Braille symbol [backspace with j] or dot 4 before the slash, because computer Braille is the default there. However, computer Braille is not the default the first time you write the subject line, so there you should use the dot 4 or computer Braille sign before you press the dots 34 to avoid writing the st contraction. Just remember to return to grade to Braille again [with backspase with b] if you have used the backspace with j command to enter computer Braille, or the whole rest of your message will be written in computer Braille.
If you edit your subject line after you have entered on it however, the default is computer Braille there, but it returns to grade II when you write further in your message. For that reason you would have to either press dot 4 or backspace with j before you enter the slash, because the dots 34 will otherwise be interpreted as a st contraction. Then if you have used the backspace command, switch back to grade II with backspace and b, or switch back after the word after the slash which you would then have to write in uncontracted Braille so as to appear correctly.
