Hello. All of this is correct. However if you are writing in ASCII or
computer Braille view/input mode, you can use the space-u or
backspace-space letter combination to get certain characters. For
example to write the at sign, you can press space-u followed by dot-4,
or you can press backspace-space-dot-4.
Many thanks.

Hi, Alex and All,
Raul can correct me, but I believe the BSP can *read* 8 dot computer
braille, but you can't *write* 8 dot computer braille. The BSP supports
the Computer Braille Code, which is a code adopted by BANA for creating
computereze for use with braille paper. To write in this code on the
BSP, you must begin your computereze with dots 4,5,6 3,4,6 or with 4,5,6
3,4,5. The second symbols are used before uppercase letters.
If you want to learn more about this code, you can go to the BANA web
site or you can buy a book called "Computer Braille Code Made Easy" from
National Braille Press. I think they also have "cheat sheets" for it, too.
I don't have a BT model, but I assume you can write in the computer
braille code in .txt or .doc files. (QWERTY users like me must use the
QWERTY keyboard when writing in .txt or .doc files, I can't change
keyboard types.)
Also, when you are writing braille in a brl file, you must use the
opening code every time you write computereze. You cannot change views.
The default view in brl files is always set to grade 2, contracted braille.
