I guess when all else fails, read the documentation. I went to the web
braille site, went into the FAQ where I followed the very good instructions
and now everything is working just as it used to. I had completely forgotten
that this was done originally when I first started using web braille with my
Windows 98 computer. Thanks so much for your help. This was really a
learning experience for me. Jill

Jill, I can't tell you how I knew to do that; I've learned from a variety
of mistakes, other posts on mailing lists, and snippets of instruction over
the years.
Actually, your question points to a perplexity: On my system, when I hit
enter on a link for a .brf file on web braille, the file is downloaded, and
it retains the .brf extension. I use XP pro and Internet Explorer 6. I
don't know why your system should work differently. I suspect there is a
registry setting affecting this, but don't know what it is or how I
modified it.
You say that you accepted the download as .brf but it came out as text. In
fact, the file you downloaded is a braille file. It is possible that the
file name ended up somehow with a .txt extension; I don't know. To ensure
that you get the right file name, try putting quotes around it. Maybe
others will chime in here with explanations as to why on one system hitting
enter on a .brf link downloads the file while on another it opens it in the
browser!
