Next time this comes up, try the "vernacular" code, [vrn], I think. Look it up in the codes reference; I don't have DBT working here. I think that a value of 1 relaxes some of the rules, and 0 is more strict.

I have been asked by a number opf people in my area to voice a serious complaint with Duxbury concerning its changing symbols, such as "greater-than" to words, to supposedly conform to literary braille.
This is truluy a nuisance, especially in material about HTML, but it crops up in email and other places where it is truly annoying.
What is Duxbury Systems doing to deal with this problem? Note that with Megadots one doesn 't have these problems.
Thanks.
