Hi Amber,

I'm afraid it's your keyboard which is the problem, not
Perky Duck.

Possibly the easiest solution is to go and but the very
cheapest keyboard you can find.  There's a 99% likelihood it
will work.

Basically the more expensive keyboards are designed to
prevent you accidentally hitting two or more keys at the
same time.  And that of course it exactly what you do want
to do.

Subject: [duxuser] Perky Duck Question

Hello everyone

I hope someone out there can help me

I am taking a braille course which requires us to use Perky
Duck.  I am running into the following problem:

I can not get my keyboard to consistently braille a full
cell or more than 3 dots in the cell.  I am using sdf jkl,
and I can get the letters that use only 3 dots in the cell,
something 4, but not consistently I have to continually hold
down the keys and then after about 6 repeats I will get the
correct cell formation.

Is there an setting somewhere in my computer that will fix
this - the keyboard is a wireless dell - possible model
number REV A00.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - I really
don't want to buy a new keyboard.

Cheryl
