I would like the 5 key to give me the file name.  I have pressed the
asterisk key or the pound key by mistake while the device was in my
pocket, and have suddenly found myself in a file I wasn't reading.

I'm not sure this is the best use of the 5 key.  First of all, the
asterisk 
key followed by the pound key, or the reverse,  will read the title of
the 
current file.  The percentage of the file read seems to me to be plenty
of 
information about the reading status.

I would rather see the 5 key used to return to the previously opened
file, 
which the BP would remember.  This would let one switch back and forth 
between two files that one was working with.  For example, reading a
work 
document while referring to another file that is a manual, rule book, or

other instructions.  The BrailleLite has this feature and I find it very

useful.
