I have created this file in Duxbury on my PC.  My desired characters per
line setting is 40.  The braille print-out should consist of 3 lines and
I only have 2 lines. The first line is 40 cells all the way across. The
second line should only say: This is a test of page 1. Instead, the
second line says: This is a test of page 1This is line 2.  I'm guessing
something's not being transmitted correctly to my Evrest. Am I on the
right track?.

Leslie,

Are you creating the file on your braille display or in Duxbury?  Terry
on 
this list knows all about importing files from other devices like the 
BrailleNote, but so far my attempts at that have not worked well.
