Actually, I have *never*, since I installed JaAWS 6.0 and higher, had to turn off my computer or restart or anything. In fact, I didn't even have to have the BrailleNote hooked up to the computer when I started it up. All I had to do was put the BrailleNote in terminal mode wheneve4r I want to use it as a display. And then I just take it out of terminal mode when I'm done. Just be sure to have Braille auto-detection" set to on. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Bishop" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 1:01 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] 6.11 is great!
