We have all working now.
Jim showed me where all of the information pops up unless you go to 
favorites and then you can just get what you have there.
I thought I was doing something wrong when I saw everything coming to 
the phone and I knew I didn't do that.
Just little tricks help me out.
We couldn't find the Braille forum.
Jim thought it was still going to happen but hasn't happened yet.
