Ted:
No, the word processor does not strip the line feeds out of text files. Your
problem is that The Linux convention is to use a line feed instead of a
carriage return, where the Braille 'n Speak prefers a carriage return. So if
you are going to read files you edit on the Braille+ on the Braille 'n Speak,
you need a program to convert the line feeds to carriage returns.
One way to do it is to simply load the files into WordPad on the PC, and hit
Ctrl+S to save them. This will convert line endings to the standard carriage
return/line feed pair that Windows uses, and will work on the Braille 'n Speak.

Hi,
I'm still playing with Braille 'n speak files and find that the word
processor seems to strip line feeds out of files. Am I right about this,
and is there a way around this behavior.
If I send a file from the Braille Plus to the bns, its line feed line
endings show up in the file. Is there a word processor option I'm
missing? Any ideas appreciated. I really don't want to have to retype all
this stuff, and I can't believe someone hasn't dealt with this in the past.
Thanks.
