When you're finished with that file, and if you have another HTML file you want to read, instead of just repeating the above procedure, from within the file, go into the Internet Options Menu with [ENTER with M], [CONTROL with 2], and select the "Open HTML File" option. Select the file in the usual way, and the default view here will present you with HTML files, so you won't need to change file views to see the HTML files you have stored on your unit. Note that, both at the Address Bar and through the Open HTML File options, instead of selecting your file from the list, you can, at the "Address?" or "File Name?" prompts respectively, type the path name of your file if you know where it's located, using Computer Braille on a BT. For example, if you want to open a file called book.htm stored in the My Books folder of the Flash Disk, you would type: file:/\\Flash Disk\My Books\book.htm BTW, if you want to save an HTML file into a type which you can read in KeyWord or KeyBook and will display only the text of the file when you open it in one of those programs, as opposed to the text along with the HTML tags, because it's not an HTML file, you can do so. You can save it as an ASCII Text file. In KeyWeb, when on a Web page, or HTML file you have previously saved to your unit, press [SPACE with S], [CONTROL with S]. Choose a location to which to save this non-HTML type of file in the normal fashion. At the "File Name?" prompt, if you are already offered a file name, move to the end of the file name with [SPACE with dots 4-6], [READ with SEMICOLON], and type .txt. If there is no file name being offered, type one with a file extension of .txt at the end. Of course, if you're offered a name which you don't want for the file, type a name with a .txt extension to change the existing name and type to which to save. Use Computer Braille on a BT. Now, you would see that, if you opened this file in KeyWord or KeyBook, it would contain only the text of the original HTML file and no tags. Note, however, that you have to do this in KeyWeb because HTML files are designed to be manipulated in a Web browser, which is why you can't save them to .txt from, say, KeyWord or the File Manager. One last thing: Web-Braille books are .brf files and not .htm, which is why you can't, if you want, for example, an ASCII Text copy of the file, just save it as .txt instead of .brf through KeyWeb; instead, you must save it as .brf, and translate another way, such as the File Manager.
