off topic braille display

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.

I bought the Braille Lite 40, but now I have some questions.

The unit I got didn't come with any manuals.  I downloaded the text
version of the manual from the fs web site.  The manual seems to be
written for the Braille Lite 18.  Several things in the manual don't
match how my unit behaves.  I've read the help file on my unit, but even
it has things that don't work on my unit.  Is there a file somewhere
with docs more specific to the Braille Lite 40?  Some things I can
figure out, but others aren't explained in any docs I've found so far.

Thanks in advance for any help.
          Kenny
