Do you happen toknow where one might find out more about that type of Braille. As I recall,it even had a symbol for "Ph", though I couldn't tell you what it was. If you happen to know where I might find out about this, I might be reallyinterested in learning it. I rather enjoy learning things like that and loveto sit with the books and teach myself.

I download books and newpapers on the hard disk. I usually change the names to something shorter. TheBraille Lite has trouble with long names. I then use the Command Prompt tocopy from the hard drive to the CF card.One difference between the BLT and BN is that on the BLT, I have to change the linefeeds that are in the books to carriage return/linefeed pairs, or I get spaces instead of carriage returns. This is not necessary on the BN. I do this by putting the books in a text editor and making a small change and resaving them. This might be replacing two hyphens with spaces around them with two hyphens with them, the way a braille dash should appear. It mightbe taking everything out before Begin Centent. I like to delete as I go along. It might be doing some search and replace with abbreviations. When I was younger, I learned Grade III Braille. This is not an officialcode but a system developed for notetaking. I don't remember all of it, butI remember quite a few short-form words and other contractions in it. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
