Hello Brian,

Well it is not making sense to me. I probably need to specify command line options at boot time because I have no idea what version of Braille this display is working from. I have set to UEB and the English UK table in the brltty.comf. But why th sign is 4 and other numbers are the ar and gh signs is very odd to me. I can produce a large number of symbols accept for full stop and the at symbol.

Confused!

Menu selections suggest there is a way of selecting previous and next items but what about the current one. The 6 dot and 8 dot selections don’t seem to work.
