[BRLTTY] Getting to know BRLTTY

[Cearbhal O'Meadhra]

Dave,

Good morning! You gave me great assistance yesterday and we got some basic
stuff out of the way as a result! Thanks.

You mentioned that BRLTTY should work directly when I'm in a text window.
What do you mean by a text window? Would that be a cmd console window  or a
text editor like Notepad?

I have tried it in notepad but I get no result. This might mean that I have
to do something with the input and output parameters of BRLTTY. How can I do
that? Where should I look?

I notice that the active session of BRLTTY in windows is coming from a
sub-directory called "ETC". What does "ETC" mean? 

You suggested that someone else might be able to help out, with my
windows-based questions. I have not seen any other traffic apart from
messages between the two of us! Are there any others on this list? It would
be great to hear from them if they can offer any advice.




All the best,

Cearbhall

Yes, but it'd be commented out,there, just to show the existence of the
parameter and what it's default is. Remove the leading # to uncomment it.

I don't know. I do know someone who used to have a Braille Lite. I'll ask
her if she still has it, and if she knows the answer to your question.

terminal?

Brltty should work directly when you're in a text window. Maybe someone else
can help out, here, as I have no personal experience in this area to draw
on.
