I agree with you, but there are also situations where grade 2 braille is better, i.e. reading lots of documentation. At such time as BRLTTY supports grade 2 braille, it'll be by option. There'll be a toggle which can be switched at run time to select the mode the user wishes to currently be in. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
