Hi Brenda, My question regarded how to produce an underscore on the BrailleNote with a Braille style keyboard as opposed to a QWERTY Keyboard. I think you understood my question as wanting to know how to make one on the computer, but forgive me if I'm wrong. On the PC (and BN QT) the underscore is made by pressing SHIFT and DASH together. Pressing dots 4-5-6 on my BrailleNote BT produced an underscore. Its ASCII value is 95, and the character's called "low line" in the BN Unicodes. I've heard from people that an underscore looks like a dropped down dash or line. I guess it would look like an underline, since the line is dropped down to go under the word in an underline, and the underscore, at least as far as I've been told, is a dropped down line which doesn't underline anything. If this is true, then it makes sense that dots 4-5-6 is an underline and underscore because they're practically the same thing. Since I've never actually seen one though, I'm not sure. Thanks though. Maria
