Mike,

I got your file, and have a couple of questions on the arrows I am using for
chemical reactions.  Here are the two lines in your file which I have
questions:

math \x2192 9-1246-135-9 RIGHTWARDS ARROW 

Why is the Braille symbol have book ends of 9 rather than 0?  I assume that
0 means a space.  What does 9 mean?

math \X21CC 1246-25-25-4-135-1246-246-25-25 RIGHTWARDS HARPOON OVER
LEFTWARDS HARPOON 

Why does this arrow not have 9 or 0 at the beginning and end?  
Is the dot 4 correct between the right and left harpoon Braille translation?
From what I have read in the Nemeth book there should be no dot 4 there.  

Thanks for your help.

Jeff
