Short: YAM: spell checking while typing Author: Rofdolfo Ignazi rodign@inwind.it or rodign@tiscali.it Uploader: chris unsatisfactorysoftware co uk (Chris Young) Type: comm/mail Version: 0.5.0_OS4_5 (11.11.2007) Architecture: generic This is a fixed version of the iSpell_YamEdit script that works with the OS4 version of iSpell and latest YAM/texteditor.mcc -- Chris Premise: It don't use MuiRexx. Installation: Open a new Shell window, and type (replacing with the iSpell dictionary you want to use): SETENV SAVE ISPELLYAM Assuming the path you place the script is "Internet:YAM/Rexx/" directory: In YAM setting menu choose -> MUI: In MUI setting window choose ->TextEditor: Click on "Spell checker", find "Lookup command" string gadget then type on it as follow: -> Run >nil: Run >nil: with the name of the iSpell dictionary you want to use: SETENV SAVE ISPELLYAM To correct some possible errors in the iSpell user dictionary edit the file "ispell:lib/.ispell_english" (or the language you are using). I experienced that the first line should be left blank. Furthermore iSpell seems to ignore some often used English contractions. The following example explains you how to make them acceptable. E.g. for "shouldn't": When you type shouldn't, on typing the apostrophe (') the requester pops up, with the word "shouldn", click on [Add] then click Yes on the second requester, and from now on "shouldn't" will be accepted. Last but not the least a big thank to my friend Allan Rasmussen, who kindly tested it and gave me very useful suggestions and bug fixes indications. -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: 2.6.3in iQB7AwUARzbqarO1+24s2ZO5AQGWkAMpAXIhB4gIm7xw8R2NYXuVQ9sSJGvWjzLU IpX7pOsbHWhDqjql/PuxjKuLUDbID/96jwuKdVqy2GCsJHjIGA8KCchH7mMSy88L O463ltSMzu+4oTKsH7XW6c90iEg6BEKuok7Xke0x =FkcP -----END PGP MESSAGE-----
