Hi,
My apologies for misinfo - I used 4-6, 5, 1-5-6. And it seems to
occur with DOT 2 alone - other single dot characters work as
expected. For instance, if you attempt to assign a character to
display as DOT 2 only, you'll get:
"display (character) as ?was
So it is a bug that needs to be sent to HW for examination. I'm
sure you have the support email address with you.
And that's not the end of the story: I have found a solution, but
it involves that you modify Custom USA table via KeyWord itself -
not from Unicode entry lookup, but by opening the computer
braille table under Word processor like any file:
1. From KeyWord Menu, go to Open.
2. Select Flash/Dictionaries folder.
3. At the document prompt, press SPACE to access files list.
Then press SPACE with X to show all files, then select custom
USA.
4. Go to end of the file and locate the character you've just
assigned (hopefully should be the last one); for this reason,
have the unicone number of the character handy (in our case,
8805). Then after the equal sign, write:
46;2;156
So the whole line would read:
\8805=46;2;156
Then press SPACE with E to exit, and KeySoft should say there was
an error with the table (or no message should be displayed). The
next time you lookup this symbol and press SPACE with D, it
should announce the correct dot combinations.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
Thanks for your e-mail. I am a bit confused though - were you
able to make the greater-than or equal to sign display as dots
4-6, dot 2, dots 1-5-6 (as in Nemeth code)? Or just as dots 4-6?
Are you saying that there is no way to make it display like the
nemeth symbol?
Aine

Hi,
I was able to duplicate your findings, using the "greater-than or
equal" as the test character. This is not a bug really - its the
way KeySoft interprets key presses. The next time you use this
character, it'll be displayed using the entered dots (or display
macro).
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [Braillenote] help with making Unicode characters
display correctly
Hi List,
After reading some of the list archive last night, I was happy to
find that copying the computer braille and unicode files from my
MPower to the Apex made the Unicode characters display correctly
on the Apex. One slightly annoying thing about this though is
that any characters you haven't previously made assignments for
on the MPower still don't work. Before I moved the files over,
I'd tried the proposed solution of deleting the unicode file and
the computer braille table files I use, and then going backspace
with R in Support Information Mode to reinstall them but that had
no effect.
Anyway, today I thought it would be fun to take advantage of the
way the Apex can display one symbol with a few dot combinations
together (like the nemeth degrees symbol). But my BrailleNote
shows up some really weird table of symbols on the Braille
display when you try to do the display assignments ... Which was
fine for the degrees symbol, and the next one I tried which
happened to be less-than or equal to; but with greater-than and
greater-than or equal to in nemeth, where you have dot 4-6, dot 2
(and dots 1-5-6 for the greater-than or equal to) I can't get
past the dot 4-6. The Apex seems to think that dot 2 is a tab
indicator (and incidentally that the letter c is a tab as well)
..
This issue is rather hard to explain as I have no idea why it
acts like this, probably easiest if you are able to have a look
for yourself. Any ideas for how to make anything you want to
have a c or dot 2 in the display of work?
And if that problem doesn't happen for you guys, any idea of
where I can change a setting to get rid of the bug?
Thank you!
Best wishes,
?ne
