OK, I thought when I opened a BRF in this way, it got translated a second time into braille when viewing on my Braille Note APEX. I only tried this once, but if there is something else needed, please let me know. In other words, when there was a 5 in the brf file I was seeing number sign 5 instead of the contraction "en".
