You can use the braille input to take notes, or to execute a find, but that is all. It is done in uncontracted braille, and it is all explained in the User's Manual.

When I got my bp I really got it for reading. Now I would like to write braille with it also. I asked other people how to do this and no one could answer my wondering mind. They said they got the bp for the same reason as I did, for reading.. I figured I should write to the list and ask this question.
