[BRLTTY] Need some settings for the preferences configuration file

[John J. Boyer]

Jason,

Thanks. I hope this works. I'm trying to use Vinux instead of Windows. 
This has been one of the problems. The other problem is inadequate 
Braille suport in Orca. In Jaws and WindowEyes there is a dialog for 
activating Braille support and selecting Grade 2. Well, i guess Orca 
does have a dialog for Braille support. But to get Brade 2 you have to 
jump through hops that the Orca developers should have removed. There is 
also no keystroke to switch between Grade 2 and computer Braille.  
Sorry, i guess this is off-topic.
