Sue,
Thank you so much. That was extremely helpful. After playing around with it
last night, I did figure out how to backup and restore to and from the card.
But that only backs up all files to the card and I wanted to know how to
work with individual files. So, thank you for the help.
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
I am forwarding instructions Julie Morales sent me to start me off. These
instructions explain it much better than I would. Also, at that time Julie
said anyone could e-mail her offlist for help. As for the manual, I know
what you mean. There is absolutely nothing about this in it, and very
little about some other things..
As for how to get things from your computer to the FC, you go to wherever
you have the books or whatever on your computer. I have them in "my
documents". When you find the file you wish to transfer, do alt-E for edit,
then arrow down to copy and click on it. Then you go to your new removable
disk drive, click to open it. The flash card must be in it. Then you just
have to paste what you copied and you're done. Then you can follow the
commands Julie gives. You will love it!! If you have any more questions
holler. <smile>

Hi, Sue. I usually get back to people pretty quickly when it's off-list
because I have all my mail going to different folders for the various lists
I'm on. Anyway, when you put the card in the slot, you go into the file menu
like you normally would. Then, there are two ways you can access the card.
Pressing the letter a will access the card files, and you can navigate the
files using the typical dots 1 and 4 chords and doing an e-chord to open any
folders you might have. The o-chord also works to open the files, just like
it normally would. The other way to access the files is to do a dots 4,5
chord, and that toggles between the flash card files and the notetaker
files, so if you do a dots 4,5 chord and go into the list of card files,
then you can do dots 4,5 chord again to go back to the notetaker file menu.
If you want to edit something on a flash card, you'll have to copy it to the
notetaker first. To do that, select the file you want to copy from within
the flash card file list and do the combination of dots 1, 4 and 8. That'll
copy the file to the notetaker, provided there's enough room in the Ram
Startup folder. If you just want to read a file and not edit, you can open
the file without copying it. If you have files on the notetaker that you
want to copy to the flash card, do the combination of dots 1, 2 and 6...not
a chord, but just the dots themselves. You'll be presented with your file
list, and the notetaker will say that the files are not marked. Press the
spacebar to mark any files you want to copy to the flash card. When you've
selected all the files you want to copy, do the same combination you use to
copy files from the flash card to the notetaker: 1, 4 and 8. The files will
be copied to the card in whichever folder on the card you previously had
open. If you don't have any folders on the card and just files, you won't
have to worry about that, but if you did create folders on the card, you'll
want to access the flash card and open the folder you want the files to go
into, then toggle back to the notetaker file list to copy your files. I hope
this is making some sense, but if you have more questions or want
clarification on anything, feel free to ask. Take care.

Hi Julie,
I am taking you up on your kind offer to help. I have decided to go
with the flash reader. I have a sighted friend who will help me about the
computer part... But when I insert the card in that slot on the Braille
Lite, what are the commands to transfer a book from the card to the Braille
Lite? Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much, and don't worry if you don't have tiime to answer
right away.
Regards,
Sue Stevens
