Hi: It only works while the file is open. If you exit and come back, you have to do it again. Pamela Rader, TECHNICAL SUPPORT American Printing House For The Blind 1839 Frankfort Ave. Louisville, KY 40206 PHONE: 1-800-223-1839, Ext. 307 >>> REhrler-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 04/30/08 04:27PM >>> I went one step further with this test. I created a text file in the word processor. I locked it with control-e which only worked as long as I remained in the word processor. After saving the document and exiting the program, I launched the word processor again and reloaded the test document. It wasn't protected any more. I then exited the program again and went into file explorer, navigated to the test file and pulled up the menu to see if it offered a lock option. It didn't so I just tried pointing to the file and pressing control-e but that too failed to protect the file. Unless I am overlooking something here, there seems to be no way to protect a file using current firmware in my Braille Plus.
