[Icon-tech] finding documentationondevelopingprogramsforthebraille plus

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I agree with having such a program and don't think it would take a lot 
of time as I am sure something like this already exists.  Emacs is out there 
packaged for the braille plus and you can do just about anything with it. 
You could use it to make a simple check book while not a full program a 
place to put your information.
