Thank you George and Iain for this information.  I shall have to get a copy and 
learn it.  I should think it would make learning to speak foreign languages a 
good deal easier.  I love these lists.  They are marvelous sources  of 
information.

  There certainly was a Braille Phonetic alphabet with an associated RNIB 
Braille publication.

    I was wondering whether there is a Braille phonetic alphabet.  When I took 
speech and drama in the mid 60's in college I learned of a phonetic alphabet 
which represented sounds rather than letters.  Then I didn't know of a Braille 
phonetic alphabet.  My professor constructed one for me.  I was reading a 
promotion for a BELA LUGOSI  collection from an old time radio site and learned 
he hardly spoke English when he played Dracula in the 1931 production and 
learned all his lines from this phonetic alphabet.  Dialects can be learned 
using this alphabet as well.  I would ask those on the duxusers list, but the 
question has nothing to do with the Duxbury program.
