[gui-talk] braille display

[J. Michael Jones]

Don thankyou for the suggestions, but have you read the manual? I ask with a 
bit of sarcasm.
G W Micro has admitted that there is no way for a Braille display to scroll 
the screen, and I feel that is a critical problem, on ethat says do not use 
a Braille display with window eyes.
However, I am more than happy to be taught something different.
I would appreciate any help you can give if you would, if you will contact 
me off list I would appreciate it.
thanks again.
