Look on the Duxbury site under FAQ's. There is a link dealing with
keyboards. I think it is worth the read. Also, when I bought my last
keyboard I convinced the store to help me hook up a few keyboards to try
before purchase. It was great and allowed me to buy a keyboard that had
a good chance of working. It did and I'm happy with the result.

Jean, what you need is a different keyboard--cheaper, no frills. If
your keyboard won't do six-key entry, no gymnastics in software will
help.

I just answered my own questionSmile. It's a simple braille editor like
an electronic Perkins, but Jaws reads the braille as Ascii braille.
Plus is doesn't help because I still can't use six-key entry.
Next question then. Can I hook up a BrailleNote and use that to input
braille directly into DBT or Perky? So instead of using the six-key
entry, could I use an external braille device for that?

Not sure if it's appropriate to ask, but since this is a Duxbury
list...
Is Perky Duck accessible using Jaws? I can't use six-key entry
with my keyboard and am looking for an alternative for direct braille
entry on the PC.
