Hello, Dean.

First of all, when you are importing the file into DBT, choose as your import 
filter "Formatted text (Windows)", or, in the unlikely event that the ASCII 
representation of the accented letters is being used, "Formatted Text 
(MS-DOS)".  You'll know which is correct by whether or not the accented letters 
are mapped properly.  

When ready to save the document, go to "File", "Save As", and choose as the 
file type "Formatted text, Windows ANSI (*.prf)", or, if your note-taker 
prefers, "Formatted text, IBM ASCII (*.prf).

Hi.  I have files i want to read in a braille notetaker.  The textfiles 
only have line breaks at paragraph boundaries.  I want to translate them 
into braille with the latest DBTWin, then save them in such a way that they 
still only have line breaks at paragraph boundaries, and later load them 
into the note taker.  I could use the notetaker's inferior translator, 
except Duxbury should do better, and the files are in French, so that 
really isn't an option, as I want to read them in French grade II 
braille.  So far, I can't figure out how to do this.  Can anybody help?

Dean
