Shawn:
When issues of page numbers have come up before, with regard to
removal, we were told that it would be illegal for us to make any
changes that would allow editing of braille files, so it would seem that
is out of the question.

Thanks pam,
I understand using the program you own, but some improvements would be
wonderful, at least to ez braille for use with bp transfer.
Having an option to remove page numbers would be nice, especially in
books
where print numbers are kept. Also, better treatment of urls in
computer
braille that do not begin with www for example a url that might look
like
this.
find.pcworld.com/42637
This is a made up url, but pc world has them like this a lot, and the
numbers don't get properly translated. Maybe allow users to correct
back
translation errors ourselves would solve issues too.
Things to think about maybe.
As for the issue with send to bookport, I have no idea either. It would
be
nice if it could be fixed. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling bp
transfer, and even removing the tts mp3 player device from device
manager
and starting over that way, all with no resolution of getting send to
bookport in the menu. If larry is stumped, then its no go I guess.
