Hi Robert, Thanks for that explanation. When I reviewed the command list for the Apex, the thumb buttons should pan the document to advance or go back to the previous chunk of 32 cells, which is the total cells on the Apex. I'll have to dig into this more when I have another amount of spare time to devote to it. Thanks.

The commands list in the VO guide is the list of "commom" commands that can be used on any braille display. Most of these seem to work. There is then a smaller list of commands that are specific to each display, assigned to the device's own buttons such as the pan commands which on the Edge are assigned to the scroll buttons.
