Hi, Mike,

What version of Duxbury are you talking about when you say putting a dot 
4
in front of computereze will automatically translate the symbols as 
ASCII
braille and/or Computer braille code?  I'm using Duxbury on my PC and 
it's
10.6.  I haven't upgraded to 10.7.  I also have Duxbury in my 
BrailleNote
mPower.  Neither of those versions will automatically translate 
computereze
into Computer Braille Code or ASCII braille.  You must put the codes in
manually.

The underscore sign in ASCII braille and CBC is only dots 4,5,6.  Except 
for
the BrailleSense Plus, Duxbury does NOT use a 3-cell sign for 
underscore.  I
downloaded one of those reference cards from National Braille Press for 
CBC,
and the card says the underscore sign is dots 4,5,6, not dots 4, 
456,456.

I realize symbols can change, so perhaps the latest version of Duxbury
changed the underscore sign.  I know that every now and then BANA 
changes
symbols.

I might add that for years many people have used the "quick and dirty" 
way
to transcribe braille italics by pressing the shift hyphen which will
produce dots 4,6 when translated into contracted braille.  My PC and BN 
will
do this, but the BrailleSense does not.

That's why I said in another post that the BrailleSense's version of 
Duxbury
is different because the program was implemented differently.
