4.2.4 Opening a File
To open the last previously closed file, activate the menu item 'Previous file' in the 'File'
menu. This will open the most recently closed file, with the cursor at the position it was in
when the file was closed.
To open another existing file, continue navigating through the File menu beyond the items
'New file' and 'Previous file'. A list of files in alphabetical order will be compiled and
displayed.
Select the desired file using [R] and [L], and then press [Enter]. You can then choose
either 'Edit', 'View', or 'Delete'. If you select 'Edit', the file will open within the Editor.
4.2.5 Transferring data between the Braille System and a PC
Texts, message files and Braille character sets can be transferred to the Braille System
with the aid of the loader program HTCom, which can be found on the CD-ROM included
with the system. This program can transfer files from a PC to the Braille System via a
serial, USB or Bluetooth interface and can also transfer files from the Braille System to a
PC.
Various file formats can be transferred to the Braille System with HTCom. When
transferring files in the following formats, HTCom extracts the text information:
Word format *.doc
HTML format *.htm, *.html, *.php, *.php3, *.asp and *.jsp (Internet)
Text format *.txt, *.java, *.ini, *.hpp, *.h, *.cpp, *.c
RTF format *.rtf (Rich Text Format)
Optionally, the text information can be converted into shorthand during the transfer
operation. Files in formats other than those shown above (such as *.exe files) are
transferred unchanged to the Braille System. The Braille System can thus be used for the
transport of data. However, it should be noted that the transfer of large files to and from
the Braille System takes much longer than the transfer to and from a memory stick.
The CD-ROM delivered with the system also contains the program HTDrive, which permits
the Braille System to be handled as a drive in the Windows Explorer. This means that files
can then be copied, deleted, renamed, etc. with the familiar Windows functions. Both of
the above-mentioned files run under the operating systems WINDOWS 95 / 98 / Me / NT /
2000 / XP and Vista. A special version of HTCom is available for the operating system
LINUX, and we will gladly send you a copy on request.
Please read the enclosed operating instructions for the transfer of data between the Braille
System and a PC. The data-transfer functions of HTCom are described briefly in the
following sections.
4.2.5.1 Transferring a File from the Braille System to the PC
Start up the HTCom program on your PC then select the menu item "Receive file" by
means of the tab key or the arrow keys, followed by the Enter key.
The PC will show all of the files on your Braille System. You can select one or more files
for the file transfer. Use the tab key to move to the input field that allows you to specify
