Thanks.

First: I really am looking for "it works" insofar as each braille driver is 
concerned. In other words, one thing I'd like to be sure of is that none of the 
braille drivers has been inadvertently broken.

Cursor routing has undergone a change so that it handles status line updates 
and vertical screen scrolling better. Giving cursor routing a good workout 
would, therefore, be very much appreciated.

The Track Screen Scroll setting has been added to the Navigation submenu. When 
it's enabled, the braille display follows the current line as it scrolls up the 
screen. An alert tuen is played when the current line scrolls up.

The Word Wrap setting has been added to the Navigation submenu. When it's 
enableed, panning forward/backward wraps the braille display content between 
words rather than wherever the end/start of the braille display happens to 
land. This applies to when a contraction table isn't being used because 
contracted braille processing already wraps on word boundaries.
