Yes I have keysoft 9.1.0 
How would one go about upgrading? or downgrading? 
And why is this version of keysoft not compatible with the IPhone? 
Grrrr  

Thank you for the help,

But nothing happens with the keyboard. I have tried to look up directions for how to use the terminal more, but there isn't much directions.

>>> To use the PWERTY keyboard as a braille input device, you cannot use the actual keyboard as if you were entering text in the Apex. You will have to use the actual braille code to do this. Here's the sequence. F equals dot 1, S equals dot 2, D equals dot 3, J equals dot 4, K equals dot 5, and L equals dot 6. So for example, to type the letter S you would press the letters D S, and J at the same time., which is the equivalent to dots 2 3 and 4. to produce the letter L, you would press the letters S, D, and F together on your qwerty keyboard. If you feel you need to practice this, which I'll admit it takes some getting used to, I'd suggest creating a note on your iPhone 4 with the Notes application and practice typing sentence.  I hope this helps.

Like as in using the apex keyboard as a bluetooth keyboard. I know I should probably upgrade, just waiting a bit for finances to come up for that.
