When you download a daisy format you will be downloading a zip file.
Yes, you do need to unzip it to get at the files in it.
Once you have unzipped it, you told it where you want the files to go. You agreed to the default directory or changed it to a directory of your choice. So now you go to the directory where the unzipped files live and one of them is the .xml file.
It does not have to be unzipped again.

And yes, function key 2 is f2.
Yes, you understand correctly. You are renaming the file by changing the .xml extension to .rtf.

about Function key 2, you mean F2, Correct? Understand, I've never converted
files before so this is unknown territory. What I think you're saying is
that I should rename the file and give it the RTF extension so that when I
press the Enter key, the format of that file will change to an RTF file. Did
I get what you said correctly? Regards, Kim.

Here is how to read a Daisy book on a braille display.
Unzip the daisy book.
You are correct. There are several files.
The only one you are interested in is the .xml file.
Go to that file. Hit function key 2 and change the xml extension to a .rtf
extension.
Now move the .rtf file to your braille display and it will read there the
same way any regular .rtf file works for you.
Hope this helps.
