Terri, You wrote: "I have often thought it's a shame we can't use a CompactFlash card to store email or web pages without having to first put them on the flash disk." If I understand you correctly, then I must say this can indeed be done, especially for web pages. You can change the destination drive and folder for a web page being saved. As for stuff downloaded from a site, it's only in version 5 that one is able to choose a folder and drive other than the Downloads folder in the Flash Disk.
As for e-mails, if you're within a message being read, and press CTRL (SPACE) with S you can select a different drive and folder (press BACKSPACE to get to the folder prompt, and another BACKSPACE for the drive prompt) to save it to a cf or storage card. But if you meant that the e-mails received are first saved in the database that resides in the Keylist folder of the Flash Disk, then you're right about this point. BTW, a problem with exporting .brf files to any foreign text document in version 5 is that it doesn't work. The user only gets a file with new line markers and nothing else. I have reported this to Dean Jackson, however, and it has been duly logged in their database of bugs to be fixed, hopefully may I add. Thus, if the user downloaded a book in BRF format, and made revisions to that file (such as putting in some notes or markers on parts that will be referred to again or quoted in a book report), then it is wise to convert the .brf file to a Keyword type Braille document first, make the revisions there, and then use the Export File option under the Translation Menu to convert it to a .txt, .rtf, .doc, or .wp5 file.
