Please remember to change subject lines!

When you type an unsupported code, you cannot read back what you have with 
speech. If you never translate or speak what you write, you can write grade 3, 
music braille, nemeth, anything at all you want to, in any code. After all, at 
the end of the day, braille is just a collection of symbols, and even if the bn 
has no clue what you mean, you can make those symbols say anything you like. 
So, to write braille music, you'd just type it into a brf or kwb file and there 
you go. The catch is that you could never print, translate, or have the bn 
speak that file or it will make no sense at all.
