Thanks, it looks like I have an old manual.  I'll get the one from BAUK.

I have never heard of dots 3 5 being a prefix for a symbol.I understood 
not equals to be dots 5 and then 2356 (IE. assuming US braille table on 
braille device, "7 ).

I couldn't find anything in the Maths code book from the BAUK website 
suggesting using dots 3 5.
