Are you asking what you'd need to do if you yourself figure out how to make the code work with the M20, or are you asking what'd need to be done in order to help us make it work? >Also when setting up the serial parameters for the BL, I presumably need to >change from the default half duplex to full.

Yes, you can type input on the BrailleLite. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
