Thanks for the tip.  This is better than before.

Another question though.  If I have brf files in hebrew, what do I need to have 
set so that VO won’t mess them up in text edit?  I have uncontracted braille 
on, 6 dot braille on, automatic translation off, but something still doesn’t 
look quite right.  

Any thoughts?
