Christine,

OK, you can set up your own braille display for the braille you want to use.
From the main menu, go to options with O-chord and hit B for braille. From there you can set the options you want. You'll want the preferred reading grade as grade 2 and the preferred English braille code probably set to UK, but you may prefer one of the other options.
Don't forget, if you don't know how to change an option, use the H-Chord and get help. 

You should manage that now but let me know if you are still stuck.

Sorry I've only just seen this message.

Because I can't read computer braille, that's all, and I
want to know how to, shouldn't take moments to explain to
me as I can already read grade two and music well, though
I've not used the latter for years.
I think my DBC is set for another countries computer
braille as I've tried typing in an email address and
website from a braille magazine and my machine tells me
it is not recognizable.  Any tips I wonder?
Christine.

Why does she need to be able to read Braille Christine?

Hi Derek, wow, I've got the DBC from HumanWare and am
due a training day with Jackie Hall...I do hope this
isn't the lady who can't read braille? I do understand
that Martin Griffiths is a braille user as he was
originally coming to train me, but unfortunately became
unwell...Maybe Stupidly in panic, I asked for a female
as I'm no use at listening to a deeper male voice and
wondered why I'd ever agreed a male for a whole day
training, sure it would have been a huge strain on
me--but now, I'm wondering if I've let go of a Really
experienced person?
I hope you or someone can reassure me I've done the
right thing for me?
Regards, Christine.

Hi Jackie
I have changed subject line  a I think  there is room
for  a wider Debate on some issues here.
I understand  all you are saying and  I was surprised
nobody can read Grade 2 Braille. But then just a sec, maybe not surprised! Few weeks ago I had a demonstration by Humanware of a new Package aimed at the deafblind. They call is DBC I 
think Stands for  deafblind communicator.
Anyway the lady that gave me the demonstration didn't seem to know Braille! And this caused some confusion! 
So after that  failed demonstration  Alan  Davis  came
to me, Not too sure if he knows Braille, but he certainly was far better At explaining what he was showing me. 

I am  now told  the trainer  will  be  a guy called
Martin  (I forget his surname)  works for  Humanware
in UK.
A  don't  think  a sighted  driver  would be happy for
a car Salesman to be  a non  driver,  so  to a point I agree
There is  a  need for  those that  sell  Braille
displays,  to know Both  grade 1  and 2 Braille.

I do  not accept the  person must be blind, because
there are Many sighted people out there that know Braille very well. Regards, Derek
