I haven't the slightest idea. I don't even know what you're talking
about. :-)

I hardly ever use the Perkins keys because I use the Dvorak keyboard
layout with the command:

loadkeys dvorak

This messes up the braille keyboard something awful since keys are all
shifted around. For example, to type "abcde" on the braille keyboard
I'd do something like: anihd.

Dave told me once that when the upgrade from 2.8 firmware came out he
thought that might solve the problem. Now that you've said you've got
2.10 I'll contact Larry Lewis and see about getting mine updated.
