I believe the commands for support information are in one of the appendeces, so you might want to use the table of contents instead of the index to find them. As for finding out how much space is on a card, that's done through the file manager. Go to file manager, then directory, then down to the card or drive you want to check, but don't hit enter. Then do the command you give for your particular device for information, and you should get the size and how much free space you have.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [Braillenote] information mode


Hi, everybody,
Sometimes, I get so frustrated, because I try to find things out by reading the help file, and I can't find what I'm looking for. I tried looking up "support information mode" and "information mode" in the index, but there is nothing in either place. When I go to the options menu, then press i chord for information mode, then the context sensitive help, all it says is "type the support information command as directed." But what are those commands? Where does one find them? I know the x one for exercising the Braille display, but what I am trying to find out is the capacity and available space on my cf card, among other things. I also tried to find out the extension of some of my word processor files. Can't figure that out, either. I want to translate all the files on my cf card to txt files so that when I put the card into my computer, I can read those files, too. How do I do this? And, after I do it, do I have to do anything special about formatting, etc? I'm assuming I can still enter things in grade 2 Braille on the BN or in regular text on the computer, right? Am I just particularly dense, or do others have trouble finding things in the help file, the index, table of contents, and so on?
Thanks for all help.
Alice
