Hi Alice:
Your 3rd question concerned making all of your txt
format so that you can read them on your PC. This
is relatively easy. Your PC can also read files
with doc and rtf extensions.
Go to the file menu and translate them or write them
in KeyWord - you can do this with out having to
write in uncontracted braille. I do this several
times a week in the course of my work day.
Best of luck.

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
