Getting Help

This software is available from Duxbury Systems at no charge. The purchase of our major products allows us to distribute some programs as freeware. We appreciate your understanding that Perky Duck is distributed without any telephone or email support. That said, many braille instructors provide support for Perky Duck to their students, and there is considerable on-line help provided for you.

Perky Duck On-Line Help

There are two ways to access on-line help. One is to select Help on the Menu bar and then select Help Topics. The other way is to press the F1 function key.

If you have a menu item selected, pressing F1 gets you specific help on that menu selection. The same is generally true for Perky Duck dialogs. Otherwise, pressing F1 opens the On-line Help beginning from the welcome page.
