Hi Loren and list,

The answer to your first question is no.  On your second question, you can 
detach a file from an Email and put it where you can read it or save it to 
another format as you would any other file so long as the BN can work with 
it.  This also depends on what upgrade you have presently.  You can also 
paste the text from a file directly into the one you are working with by 
using the block commands menu.  Select the insert file option and you should 
be good to go.  You can put in the text for an entire file or select a block 
of text.  On your third question, you can move, copy or delete all the files 
in a folder all at once.  Go to file manager, type M for move, C for copy or 
E for erase. When the BN asks you for the file to act upon, type spacebar 
with dots 3 5 on a BT keyboard.  You will hear so many files were selected. 
You will be asked for the drive where they should go if you want them moved 
or copied.  Select this drive.  You will be asked if you want to confirm 
each file?  Type Y for yes or n for no and the files will be acted upon 
according to your instructions.

Subject: [Braillenote] questions and thoughts


I have several questions and thoughts today, and maybe I should place them 
in separate emails; but, here it goes anyway.

Q:  Is there a way to password protect a file?

Q:  Is there a way to move an attachment from email directly to a keyword 
file whithout having to copy and paste it?

Q:  Is there a way to copy entire folder to say a flashcard without having 
to do each file individually?


T:  It would seem to me that if Humanware wants to stop offering upgrades to 
the BrailleNote classic, they would also offer a way to help those of us who 
might want to do the transplant, a way to finance the move.  I do understand 
the reasoning for no longer doing upgrades, and someday the Empower will go 
the same way.  However, the attitude that the rehab agencies and thus the 
government, thus you and I with our taxes will pay for it is rather cold. 
They admit that the price for assistive tech is high.  My wife and I would 
consider seriously, the idea of financing this move.  However, most banks do 
not offer such programs.  They really do not like lending money on these 
types of items.  And who can really blame them?

T:  It seems to me that a nice program for the Empower or PK, or Note 
Classic would be a barcode scanning program.  Maybe this is technically 
above what I understand, but it seems to me, that if a gps program can be 
adapted to work on the Note platforms, then the scanning program for 
barcodes could be as well.  The main rival for the Note has the capability 
to do this, and I must admit, it makes it tempting.  And there was a recent 
offer to make this a very real possibility.
