Hi Roselle and others, In the context sensitive help of the find and replace feature, it says "to erase the default entry, so that you will in effect you will delete the find text, press space with s". When I first heard about the clearing field command (I think in the readme), I tried to do it, and it worked perfectly. attempted to use space with s, only to get an error tone. What is, if anything, this space with s command? Thanks, Laura

Bush, --Pella, Iowa, San Antonio Express News, Jan. 30, 2000) However, with my memory being what it is sometimes, I forgot it. So the next time, I pressed space with h at the "replace with" promqt, and >------ original message ------ >from: "Roselle Ambubuyog" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Documentation incomplete? >Hi, >Sorry, I have not been following much of the discussions here lately, but I'm >surprised this one doesn't seem to have been definitely addressed yet.
