  Hi,
  I understand that it is showing you history for the user... but what is dot
  1 and dot 4? Is this only on the Braille Plus keyboard?  Can I duplicate it
  on my Icon? The up arrow on most QWERTY keyboards under Linux (and non
  Bourne shells) will do this.  But, I've always wanted/needed it on the Icon
  itself and not known how to do it.

  John
