Unfortunately, not yet. I have submited this bug to hw, and I know at least a few others have as well (please do so as well, Tom, as more data can only help). No one has yet been able to even find a pattern; sometimes it works, sometimes it says it cannot find the string, and sometimes it will lock up and require a reset. It seems to do it in grade 2 and UEB (not sure about computer braille) and the file format does not seem to matter. Hopefully ks9.1, if we ever see it, will fix this and other apex-specific bugs. There are remarkably few bugs in the apex for an initial release, but this is one of the big ones and I would hope it would be addressed soon.
