[blindkid] blindkid Digest, Vol 101, Issue 15

Tue Sep 18 23:57:41 UTC 2012

Thanks - We've used this & similar info.
The problem is that on the BrailleNote the "O" Chord which works on with
non-apex braille displays to advance pages in iBooks, on an Apex is a
device-specific command function that opens up the BrailleNote Options
Menu.
We will try some of the other suggestions that I have gotten today & I
will let you all know what works (I'm being optimistic).
