The disk should run and your notetaker should say OK. Now
read this file and you will find it to be identical to the HELP file.
You can practice on the diskette that comes with the disk
drive. This diskette contains various manuals on the notetaker
and the disk drive.
You can print these files in print or Braille at your convenience.
Loading the Spell.Dic File
The file "SPELL.DIC" is on the diskette that came with disk
drive. It is available at no cost from Freedom Scientific. Type
S- CHORD, Y then R for receive. Then type the filename
"SPELL.DIC" followed by E-CHORD. This file takes up about
86 pages.
Other Information
You may notice that if you store the HELP file, one page long
onto the diskette it will store just fine. However, if you open a
one-page file and try to load the HELP file back into memory
your notetaker will load all except about 16 characters and it
will say "file is full." This is because of the way handshaking is
done on the notetaker. Whenever a file is within16 characters
of being full, your notetaker will tell the sending device to stop
sending. It does this at 16 characters because some
computers cannot stop immediately, so we left some room.
This causes a minor irritation when dealing with files that are
nearly full. To get around it, just make the file one extra page
long and then after reading the file in, delete the extra page.
Note: Newer firmware revision after 1998 automatically
expand files.
You may also work with some diskettes that have such a long
directory that it will not all fit into the clipboard. Your notetaker
