Hi,
It turns out a group of enthusiasts discovered this earlier, as you can see
from this article:
http://www.braillenoteusers.info/articles/wordprocessing/Shortcut-to-mark-To
p-of-Block-in-a-document
For things that are not documented in the user guide, many web resources
(such as the site noted above) have documented them.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [BNU] Apex, BackSpace+m or Mark command?
Hello Ann & all,
You can trust me (but it's just me tha's saying that), I'm using every day
blocks without ever marking the end block. And I was very haping discovering
that, then discovering the Space-m-dot7, those two things when combined
considerably minimize the actions needed for a block.
I modified the subject to take your remark into account. Although it seems
the Touch won't be release before last quarter of the year, anyway here in
France...

No, I haven't seen this command listed in the English manual for the
Apex. I haven't checked any other manuals because I am not fluent in
any language except English. I can make myself understood in French
for simple things, but to understand what somebody says back to me,
hmmm that's problematic.
I am fairly sure that the Apex requires both a top and bottom point of
the block, but I think that the new Touch only requires the start or
top point and the insertion point of the cursor acts as the bottom point.
Someone may want to correct me on this?
BTW, friends, we may want to specify now when we're discussing the BN
just which one we're talking about. Otherwise we might get confoos`ed
and give Apex info to somebody who wants Touch info.

Hello,
It marks the Start point. Is this command documented in english? I
didn't find it in a french version and I discovered it by chance.
Did you know that you can make any operation you want on a block
without marking the end point? In which case, the block consists on
the portion between the Start mark and the spot where you are.
