Shelley: Black Stallion Returns is validated and up. the Truth About Dogs will be shortly (another one of those books the BN kept junking on me). Now I have begun to place it as a copy on my computer each time I validate part of a book so the validation up to the point I've validated continues to be on the computer just in case. Took almost a year for me to realize that would be a safer way to not have to validate things four and five times on the BrailleNote! Now, nobody make any remarks about my brain here (smile), let's just say it's lucky my head is attached to my body! Ahhhhh, the art of getting older! (LOL) In fairness to the BrailleNote, I have figured out that some of the "truncated files" I think I caused by not realizing I was out of the spell checker and exiting the file with another command directly after the command to exit. Boy does the BN hate that mistake. Being very careful now concerning that problem. that was not all the problem but some of it. Will hurry on your book Shelley and sorry it has taken so long. Reggie
