Hi all,
ABout a month ago there was a message on this list which showed a quick and
easy way to test a keyboard for 6-key entry suitability. The sender wrote:
Can I assume you are doing "six-key"input to a braille file as if you were?
using a Perkins Brailler? And if so, have you verified that your keyboard
supports six-key input?
(You can do this by going to any word processor; depress all six home row
keys at the same time as if you were brailing a full cell; if all six
letters show up then you should be fine. The order is not important.)
This, if it is indeed the case, sounds like a simple solution and worth
repeating.
Cheers,
Linda Triasmono
