Hi, Tessa:
For non-alphabetic characters in e-mail messages, the following should work:
period or dot equals dots 4-6
at-sign equals space-u (make following character uppercase) then dot 4
underline character equals dots 4-5-6 dots 4-5-6 (using just one
symbol instead of two just capitalizes the following character, so
use two of the 4-5-6 symbols to make the underline or underscore;
Capitalize a letter or make it uppercase by preceding it with dots 4-5-6
Web addresses use a lot of other characters, like question mark,
equals sign and so on. National Braille Press (nbp.org) has some
nice little publications which go through the computer braille code,
which would be useful if the bsp uses standard coding.
You can also do experiments by using space-g to select ascii, grade 1
or grade 2, then enter a symbol, then use space-g to switch to a
different grade and see what the bsp gives you.

Thanks Mike, that sounds like it'll work.
I wonder if I use wordpad to make up the list if that'll save me the trouble
of sorting out correct code and the like.
I'll have to try it and see how it goes.
Thanks again.
Tessa

You can do this by first bringing up the word processor and typing all the
email addresses, separated by semicolons. Type them all as one long
line-don't press the enter key! Save these addresses under a filename.
When you want to use the address list, find the file by using File Manager,
bring up the word processor, select all, and copy to the clipboard. You then
bring up the email program and use enter-v to paste the clipboard into the
desired field-I use "BCC:" and put my own address into the "To:" field. You
then write your message and send it.
A caveat is that if one address in the list is in error (it is improperly
written), the message will not be sent. Sometimes the error message
indicates the problem, but often you'll just have to carefully read through
the list to find it. Once this problem address is fixed, the message will be
sent successfully. You'll probably want to go back to that list file and fix
the error there so it doesn't happen again.
I've never encountered a limit on addresses you can send this way.
