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.
