Hi Alice,
To find the extention of any file, it should be the last three
letters of the filename after a ".".
Let me know if your files don't have this, and I will dig out a
way to get it.
(Basically, you can do a directory using cmd.exe).
I don't think you can enter grade two Braille into anything but a
Braille file, so not into text or Word.
If you want to share files between a PC and BN, you will probably
have to keep them as a file that the PC understands, (like Word
doc or text .txt), or keep translating them.
To translate from Braille to text use export, for from text to
Braille use import.
These are both under the file translate file submenu.
Regards,
Steve.

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
