Grade 2 Braille file on a PC, use the command S-CHORD, T
as this saves the file on the diskette formatted for print. When
you transfer the file back over to your notetaker, it will be in
text format, not Grade 2 Braille format. The S-CHORD, B
command is similar to the S-CHORD, T command. The
difference is that when you use the S-CHORD, B command,
the file that you save will not be translated. However, it will be
formatted as if you were printing the file. The S-CHORD, B
command is available in the Braille ‘n Speak 640, and 2000
Series notetakers.
Reading the Directory of a Disk
You can read the directory of the diskette by pressing S-
CHORD, D. With this command you are prompted, "filename."
Enter the file mask or directory mask. For example, if you
enter a file name of *.brl you would get a directory of all files
on the diskette with ".brl" as the file extension. Simply pressing
E-CHORD with no file name will give all files on the diskette.
Where does the directory go? When you ask for a directory,
the notetaker automatically closes the file you are in and puts
you into the clipboard file. It then clears the clipboard and
stores the disk directory on the clipboard, putting the cursor on
the first file name. You can now read through the directory in
clipboard and find the files you want. You can use all the
power of the notetaker to read the directory. When you are
finished reading the directory, press Z-CHORD to close the
clipboard. You will then be placed back into your original file.
The directory will remain on the clipboard until you perform
some operation to clear it. For example, while in the clipboard,
you can put your cursor on the first letter of a filename and
press S-CHORD, G to “get” the file you are pointing at and
load it onto your notetaker.
