Yeah, was just gonna say that. You also might need the question mark and exclamation point. Not sure why, but since you have the period you might as well have the question mark, 1-4-5-6, or the exclamation point, 2-3-4-6.

Hi Sue,One more common computer braille symbol that you may need if you
need to
specify a port number in an e-mail setup is the colon; which in
computer
braille is dots 1,5,6. The same as the wh sign in grade 2.And, to quickly switch to computer braille, hit control+l which
will say
"braille off." Then, control+l turns braille back on.
Enjoy, Richard

Hi Sue:
Welcome to a fantastic product! Other computer braille symbols
you'll need
to know for e-mail in particular are the at sign which is dot 4,
and the
period which is dots 4, 6.
Happy e-mailing.
Lou

Hi Sue,Yes, you will need to use computer braille when entering email
addresses,
web addresses, or numbers on web forms. When entering numbers,
use dot 2 for
1, dots 2+3 for 2, etc. Hth, Amy

Recently, I began using the Braille Plus. I am still learning
how to do many
things. I was able to update quite easily, and have downloaded a
few books
from bookshare. I have a couple of questions. If I want to
input something
like an e-mail address, do I need to switch to computer braille
as the input
method? When I was putting in my e-mail address for bookshare,
and used
grade 2 as the input method, it wouldn't work. Also when using
the braille
keyboard, in computer braille how do you capitalize? I haven't
found this in
the manual yet. I'm reading through it. Thanks. I really like
the small
size. It can travel nicely in my knitting bag.
