Many thanks for your thoughts. I'm not sure if my serial number is of any use to anyone. It's not used like a screen reader token. I thought that it was for the hardware. But I'll bare it in mind for the future. Anyway I constructed the message as I did for a reason. That was for USB sticks cards in readers still have the same problem. It's my configuration and nothing to do with the stream or it's cards. I just copied the output from the stream. I've no problem with the stream and that card under Windows. For the three cards I've tried, the stream has formatted them quite adequately in one stroke, it would be interesting to hear what brand of cards such difficulties occur. Thanks. > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup@braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Gena http://www.ready2golinux.com M0EBP
