[BRLTTY] Trying to Read 132 Column Display from 80 Column Braille Reader

[wmichaelb at fuse.net]

Dave: thanks for your prompt response. When I go to /var/lib/brltty, 
I find no brltty.prefs nor any file at all. The "locate" command also fails 
to find this file. We opened the preferences menu with button 3 + button 4, 
but the default on exit is not to save the preferences file to create one, and 
we couldn't figure out how to change the "no" to "yes", nor could I find 
a way to do this in the documentation. If I type "prefmenu" from the prompt, 
I get an error message that says there is no such command. Is there a way to 
generate a preferences menu file via a script, or ?? Thanks again for all 
your help.

It sounds like the cursor may be starting out quite a way to the right and one 
of the sliding window preferences is set. Can you please post (an attachment 
will be fine) the file /var/lib/brltty/brltty.prefs?
