Hi everyone.  I am particularly interested in hearing from sighted users on 
this issue.  In the class I am currently teaching on the use of DBT, I have a 
sighted user who has no prior braille knowledge.  I'm wondering how people with 
no braille skills handle working in translated braille documents?  are there 
specific settings that you use to make this easier?  Also, is there anywhere 
that I could get a list of the print punctuation and how it translates into 
braille?  For example, a print Comma when written in the braille file is 
actually the dot 6.  I'm looking for some sort of quick reference sheet that 
would help this individual to know the translated symbols, and maybe even give 
an idea of what it would look like on the screen, or at least give the dot 
numbers.  If any document of this nature exists I'd love to find it!  SMILE!!!  
Thanks in advance for any help.

Caroline
