Hello, this is so interesting! Which keysoft version is this talking about,
and which model?

Hi folks, particularly Nemeth users,
I'm happy to report yet another "hack" for writing math: Nemeth is
indirectly supported.  Here's the scenario:
Under Block Commands Menu, there is oan option called "grade."
This allows you to change the selected text's grade representation.  For
instance, if you type in a braille document and you typed an address of a
site without changing grades, you can select the URL and change it to
computer braille (although the resulting text would be in all caps).  While
I was going through availible grades, I was surprised to find Nemeth option.
Using this option, not only you can change some text to Nemeth, but continue
to write your document in Nemeth code.
To perform this hack:
1.  Open any braille document (KeyWord braille or plain brf).
2.  At the place where you wish to start typing in Nemeth, perform the
following command sequence: ENTER (new line), SPACE with B (Block Commands),
SPACE with DOTS 1-4 (mark schtence), G (grade of block), N (Nemeth).
KeySoft says, "Nemeth" with the format indicator of dollar sign, g m.
Now type whatever Nemeth code you need, then when done, press ENTER then
press BACKSPACE with grade command (A for uncontracted, B for contracted or
C for computer braille) to switch back to current grade.  When you read this
with speech, you'll notice that Nemeth symbols are announced correctly.
I guess the only suggestion I'd like to see is: would it be possible to
include Nemeth as one of the grade of braille for keyboard entry so we can
have an indirect shortcut without having to go through the above procedure?
Thanks.
Hope this is useful.
Cheers,
Joseph
