Yes, we could do that. Such a feature is probably more along the lines of a preferences menu item, though, for example: Current Word: contracted, uncontracted, computer braille >And BTW. we can solve the problem brought up by Mario: How to deal with >the capitalisazion sign. That becomes another potential three-value selector, for example: Capitalization: prefix character, overlayed dot, none >Disadvantage: We would have to completely redesign our braille tables. where do you see a need for any table redesign? I think it's simply a matter of which table we use when. Do we want both selectors? For each, do we really want all three values? If we make the six-dot toggle become a three value choice, we could add yet another preferences menu item so that the user can decide if six-dot uncontracted braille is offered or not. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
