[BRLTTY] getting a command shell on android

[Rob]

Okay, I finally have the Braille Sense working on the phone. However, it is 
displaying in computer braille, despite the contraction table being set to 
Grade Two in the settings menu. What's missing? Does the App not come with 
contraction tables? Something needs to be set on the Braille Sense?
