The problem with the BN is that, if we want to compare with JAWS, there is no 
option to turn the "Active follows Braille" option on, so to speak, because 
there really isn't such an option, and the cursor just never follows the 
Braille display.

If this option was available, it would also avoid the irritating problem in the 
manual where, regardless of where one has been reading with the Braille 
display, they are returned to the place where the cursor was located, i.e., 
usually the top of the section unless one has physically used keyboard commands 
to move the cursor to the specified position because, sadly, one *still* cannot 
use cursor routing buttons in the manual function (and this fact was written up 
in the 6.1 Readme file as if it was a new bug, and we got the oh-so-familiar 
assurance that it would be looked at "for future releases", but who knows when 
that'll be, <smirk>).

At least in JAWS, the "Active follows Braille" and vice versa options can be 
toggled on and off, so one can use them when they wish and when they are 
useful, but alas, no such choice on the BN, just as it's the case with so many 
other options which can be customized on the PACMate but can't be on the 
BrailleNote.

Of course, I suppose I could call this a minor annoyance compared to all the 
other problems with the BrailleNote, but still...
