From the manual: To use the braille keyboard, turn Book Port 90 degrees from its normal operating position, so the compact flash card faces toward your body. The braille input keyboard looks like this: 3 2 1 4 5 6 Esc Left Up Down Right Enter 7 BackSpace Space Space Delete 8 So I've turned BP 90 degrees. I start, then with what used to be the 'D' key (on the d-e-f row) and it becomes dot 3, with f becoming dot 1? 3=d 2=e 1=f 4=a 5=b 6=c I know this is a wonderful and clever idea, but I befuddle easily. following this list, the dot 8 key is 3? Space is either 1 or 6? Or am I reversing something? sorry to be so upside-down. ann
