Thanks.  Great idea using bookmarks in the BP manual.  Now, why didn't I
think of that? <grin>

I see what you mean regarding using Daisy instead of BRF.  Thanks for
answering my questions.

I believe apendix a in the manual has all the key functions in it.
I'd just put a bookmark to it.  You'd probably want to use the daisy format,
back-translated braille can do some odd things since braille can use the
same set of symbols to mean two different things depending on context.
