Hi guys I got my files finally on the iPhone 4. It turned out that the problem was that it won't let me send brf files, but it's periectly to let me get txt files. This is not supposed to be, so I need to ask AFB about that. We have an office here, and I will call someone who can check on this for me.
I changed the extension to be txt, and it was perfectly happy to let me read the file in perfectly good grade 2 braille. I disagree with AFB that you couldn't edit these things if you made sure to turn off the translator.
