- A QEdit Tip from the SemWare Technical Support Staff
-
- .. QEdit and Spell Checking ..
-
- Are people constantly harassing you about your spelling? Do
- simple words like "the" come out wrong during those late night
- message editing sessions? You say you've found a spell checker
- program to solve the problem... but how can you make it work
- with QEdit, your favorite editor.
-
- QEdit support conference users have been using both ShareSpell
- by Acropolis Software and EZSpell by Sam Smith for some time.
- Below are two macros that let you use either of these programs
- within QEdit to make spell checking a breeze.
-
- The following macro invokes ShareSpell from within QEdit to
- spell check the current file. The macro assumes that both
- SS.EXE and the dictionary ACROP.DIC are in a directory named in
- your PATH statement.
-
- <key> MacroBegin SaveFile Dos "SS " CurrentFilename Return
- Return EditFile CurrentFilename Return NewFile Return
-
- The following macro invokes EZ-Spell from within QEdit to spell
- check the current file. The macro assumes that both EZS.EXE and
- the dictionary EZSPELL.DCT are in a directory named in your PATH
- statement. EZSpell creates a backup file with the last letter
- of the name changed to a "$". The macro then deletes that file
- in this macro after EZSpell is done.
-
- <key> MacroBegin SaveFile Dos "EZS " CurrentFilename Return
- Return Dos "DEL " CurrentFilename Backspace "$" Return
- Return EditFile CurrentFilename Return NewFile Return
-
- NOTE: <key> is the key to which you should tie this macro. The
- macro must all be on one line in your QCONFIG.DAT file. Once
- you have added the macro to your keyboard, run QCONFIG.EXE to
- install the changes. To use QCONFIG.EXE, run it, press return
- to accept Q.EXE, press K for keys, press return to accept
- QCONFIG.DAT, then press S to save your changes.
