The NVDA manual explains all about the commands available with braille 
displays. When in terminal mode, space-e, space-o, space-z, space-1-2-3-4-5-6, 
and space-i all work on the Apex only, so you can close the terminal mode at 
any time. If you need to send any of these commands to the computer, press 
enter-4-5-6 before pressing the keystroke and it will be ignored by Keysoft.
