Hello:
I need to print out a C program as an example. I want my output to have
characters like those on a braille display. Ideally, I would like Duxbury to
switch my embosser to eight-dot braille and emboss the lines as they appear
without reformatting them. Of course, I want Duxbury to reset the embosser back
to six dot braille when I am done. A small sample of what I want to print is
appended to this note. Thank you for any help.
Regards,

----------- Sample code --------
//******************************************************************************//
// While Loop
//
// RobotC on NXT
//
//
//
// This program allows your taskbot to run in a square five times.
//
//
//
//******************************************************************************//
// Focus //
//
//
// This program allows your robot to move in a sqaure by repeating a forward
//
// and right turn movement. It will repeat this movement 20 times so your
//
// robot does five squares. It tracks the number of times its completed the
//
// movement with the variable "i". "i" starts at zero and each time the loop
//
// is competed 1 is added to "i"'s value. So after one forward and right turn
//
// movement, "i" is equal to 1. After 6 movements "i" is equal to 6 and after
//
// 20 movements "i" is equal to 20. The repetition of the movement is
//
// controlled by the loop command which ends itself when "i" equals 20.
//
//
//
//******************************************************************************//
// Notes //
// //
// 1. The wait times used may need to be customized depending on robot
//
// configuration. Test your robot several times to find the best wait time
//
// to get a 90 degree turn. Once you have the proper timing, substitute it
//
// for the "wait1Msec(750)" command in the following program.
//
// 2. The robot will end facing the same direction as when it started.

task main()
{
int i = 0; //the variable "i" is declared as an integer,
and initialized to equal zero
while(i < 20) //a while loop is delcared with the variable
"i" being less than 20 as its true condition
{
motor[motorA] = 75; //motor A is run at a 75 power level
motor[motorB] = 75; //motor B is run at a 75 power level
wait1Msec(4000); //the program waits 4000 milliseconds before running
further code
motor[motorA] = 75; //motor A is run at a 75 power level
motor[motorB] = -75; //motor B is run at a -75 power level
wait1Msec(750); //the program waits 750 milliseconds before running
further code
i++; //the variable "i" is incremented (increased)
by 1
