Hi Richard, In answer to your points:
1. Pressing the ADVANCE or PREVIOUS thumb-keys will clear the time from the Braille display without putting any characters anywhere. BACKSPACE with ENTER is the command to cut off speech. While in previous version it also cleared any messages it meant there wasn't a way to read a long detailed message, e.g. the Next Appointment information, in Braille without the speech distracting you. 2. In Keyboard Learn Mode if all of the description of a key's function fits on the Braille display, then the ADVANCE key is not required to advance the display through the desription and will display its function on the first press. If a desription takes more than one display width, then it may take several presses of ADVANCE to advance the display through the description before ADVANCE can display its own function. If it didn't do this, then you would never be able to read descriptions longer than one display width in Braille because as soon as you pressed ADVANCE the previous description would be replaced by the description of the ADVANCE key. 3. N1 and N4 beep because they have no universal function. Try them in Key Announce mode in KeyWord. 4. Yes, we are aware of problems with some Daisy books, this is mentioned under know issues on the 7.2 build 47 web site. 5. ENTER with I is the universal command for the Insert Menu. However, there is an exception when entering a search string in the word processor or book reader it is used to find an indent. It is not the command to indent text, you do that with the tab command or through the Layout List. 6. Not sure why it defaults to computer Braille when using the save command. You can change to grade 2 using BACKSPACE with B or through the "Grade of Braille for keyboard entry" option in the Options Menu. Have added this to our bug list. 7. When detaching a file, you get the prompt, "... Detach as a KeyWord document?". If you use the help command at this point, there are 3 options: "To have the file converted to a KeyWord Text Document, press 'Y'. To leave the attachment as a Microsoft Word file, press 'N'. To have the file converted to a KeyWord Braille Document, press 'B'.". The straight 'Yes' option saves the file as a text document because that leaves the textual content as-is and is the safest option if you are not sure of the content. However, if you want it saved as a Braille document, select the 'B' option. Hope the above helps.

If the braille message display is set to zero, and you check the time with enter plus t, you can not clear the time with backspace plus enter; you have to hit a key that puts a character in your document or hit the joystick on a PK. Prior to KeySoft 7.2 backspace plus enter cleared the time. In keyboard learn mode when you press the advance key, (n 5) you have to hit it twice before it speaks its function. Also in keyboard learn mode, n 1 and n 4 just beep. How about making the joystick scroll the display one width left or right? You are also aware of the buggy behavior in the book reader with DAISY books. In particular, is there any way to fix it so one can read the Sunday New York Times. Right now, it always locks up the PK. I just tried it with Yesterday's New York Times from Bookshare. Enter with i brings up the Insert Menu. What happened to the Indent command? Why, when in Keyword, with the pk set to grade 2 for reading and keyboard, when I hit chord-s to save the file does it say, "computer braille is required;" when I can use grade 2 if I create a file from the Keyword menu? Also, why when I save a Word attachment from an e-mail, and I select Keyword as the file type, does it save it as a text file and will not allow me to edit the braille grade?

If you are upgrading from 7.2 build 43 to 7.2 build 47, you will not require a new product key, as 7.2 build 47 will work with your existing 7.2 product key. Fixed Issues: In KeyBook, pressing SPACE to stop reading leaves you at your current position rather than returning you to the position where you started reading. When a Daisy book is re-opened the cursor is returned to its previous position. Daisy speech rate is now remembered between opening books. You can now open Bookshare .BKS files from the File Manager Directory option. In KeyPlan, printing now works. Full backups now allow subsequent incremental backups to work correctly. In the Media Player, BACKSPACE with ENTER now pauses playback. On the BrailleNote PK the joystick now works correctly. In UK math in the calculator, spaces are now displayed correctly. The PREVIOUS and NEXT thumb keys no longer give an error beep when going to links in KeyWeb. In KeyList, pressing BACKSPACE and ENTER no longer clears the Braille display. On the BrailleNote QT, when FUNCTION with S is used to change task, GPS only appears when installed. On the BrailleNote QT, the calculator now operates correctly after directly switching from a KeyWord Braille or BRF document. On the BrailleNote QT, the battery level short cut READ with ESC now works while reading .BRF files in KeyBook. On the BrailleNote QT, you no longer need to press READ with G to start reading a .BRF file in KeyBook. You can just press 'G'. On the BrailleNote QT, PLUS on the numeric pad now works. Copying a database using the File Manager will no longer write protect the data file. When exporting a document you can now create subdirectories at the destination directory prompt. When confirming the deletion of an email folder, literary Braille folder names are now spoken correctly. The confirmation prompt now appears on the correct sequence. When writing an email, the exception that could occur when you delete "to", "cc" or "bcc" entries has been fixed. Known Issues: In some cases, you may experience a long response time or apparent lock-up of your system when reading Daisy books from Bookshare. This is more prevalent in large books. We will continue to investigate and work to resolve this issue. In the meantime, we wish to provide you with our latest improvements.
