Dear List:
This is pretty much to Kathy, Care bear. Kathy, I deleted your
address somehow. You asked about one-handed mode and the block
commands. I know that people are better educated than me, but
here goes.
When you want to place a block marker, put your cursor on the
first character. To do this, if you are using a BT keyboard, and
you have a Braille display, put your cursor on that character.
If you don't have the Braille display, you must press Space, then
Space with dot 6 to put it to the character you want. Then, you
would press Space, then the letter B with Space. You would then
press the letter T, then press Space. You will see the prompt,
"top of block." Because you are going to execute a new command,
you must press Space again. If you are going to a paragraph,
from a BT keyboard, you would then press Space with dots 56.
When you come to where the final block should be, you can either
go line by line and remember to press Space before doing
anything, then you would press Space with dot 4. If you need to
go to a word, press Space, then Space with dot 5. Then, press
Space, then Space B, dots 12. Press Space again, then the letter
C followed by a space. You will see that the command has been
copied to the clipboard. Then, when you want to paste that
block, press Space, then the letter P, followed by a space. If
you want to delete, rather than copy, you would just press D.
Remember that when you press Enter, you press Space with Enter.
If you make an error and need to delete a character, press Space,
then Space with dot 3.
I can't remember how all this goes on the QT keyboard. It
seems like you said you had the perkins style keyboard, and I
hope so, (smile)!
Kathy, if I can help you by way of the phone, email me
privately, and we'll work that out. I don't know if I made a bit
of sense. I admire people who do this, because I tried it all
morning, and it does take some doing.
Blessings,
Rhonda Stogner
