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.
