3.4.1 
Documents. 
Documents are the most common type of file you will use on the BrailleNote QT. You must give 
each document a unique name enabling KeySoft to distinguish one document from another. For 
example, when you use KeyWord to write a letter, that letter is stored as a document. Every 
document name should indicate what type of information it contains. A document name can be up 
to 250 characters long, including spaces. It cannot contain the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > | 
 
 
3.4.2 
Folders. 
When you have been using your BrailleNote QT for a while you could very easily accumulate 
several hundred documents, and it could become tedious to find any particular one. To make life 
easier, documents can be organized into groups called "Folders." Initially, there are folders named 
"General," and "My Books," together with a number of others which KeySoft uses. Besides these, 
you can create as many new folders as you wish. 
If you have a lot of files to organize and are comfortable with the concept, you might want to create 
a directory structure of folders, where there is more than one layer of folders. Details about how to 
do this and all other aspects of folder and file management are covered in Chapter 15. 
Folders can contain both Braille and text documents. Folder names can be up to 250 characters 
long, and can consist of any Braille signs except those for the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > | 
 
 
3.4.3 
Drives. 
Documents can be stored by different pieces of hardware in the BrailleNote QT, called disk drives, 
or just drives. BrailleNote QT incorporates a type of memory called flash memory. The associated 
drive is referred to as a Flash Disk. It provides fast, secure storage, retaining its contents even if the 
battery is flat. It is the memory you normally use to save your documents. You can copy, rename, 
erase or edit and re-save documents to the Flash Disk. 
You can also add external drives to the BrailleNote QT.
