Don:

Actually, much the same occurred with the BL-20. In order to ignore the 
line breaks and still have a display that made sense, i.e., broke at 
words, you'd still have to do a fair amount of analysis on the text as 
it was displayed. Not impossible but I dare say the good folks at HIMS 
didn't think of it.

On the other hand, isn't there a "compressed reading mode"? Seems to me 
I recall one.

Subject: [GWN] line breaks when reading .brf files


Hi all,

Sure been quiet around here lately.  I'm reading a .brf file from
bookshare on by braillesense plus.  It is reading just fine except that
every other line has 32 characters of braille and the other lines have 8
or so.  Obviously it's an issue with the line length within the .brf
file and the sense is splitting it with 32 characters on one braille
line of the display with the remaining  characters of the line on the
next display.  Is there any way to turn off the line break in the .brf
file so the sense won't see these?  I don't see any such setting in the
bs command list, but I could be missing something too.

It's certainly not impossible to read this way, but it really would be
easier if each display line was filled.

Thanks,

Don
