Terri,
The old eureka had software where you could customize the braille code. That 
was back in the late 80's and I loved it, I wish the bsp had a similar 
feature. It didn't have a braille display and did automatic braille to print 
translation, so the code was mainly for speed of writing, one of my 
favourites, being an anthropology student at the time was dots 4 5 6 a which 
for my code meant animal, of course if I wanted to write animals I would 
have to write the whole word, but having the code sure did make things 
faster at times.
BTW I'm in Canada, I didn't know Humanware was based here, it wouldn't have 
effected my choice to buy the bsp. I hate dealing with customs therefore 
I'll find a dealer to do it for me LOL.
Tessa

Hi, Olusegun,

The opening bracket has always been dot 6, dots 2,3,5,6.  The closing
bracket has always been dots 2,3,5,6 dot 3.  These are two-celled signs.

The only software I know which allowed a person to customize their own
braille table of abbreviations was Monty and notetakers don't use it
anymore.

Unfortunately, notetakers can't be as flexible as the good old slate or
brailler, where you could "make up" your own personal rules for writing
braille.  It would cause lots of problems if people were allowed to tamper
with the tables and rules of braille the software uses.
