- I don't recall getting installation instructions (I may have
- lost them) and I don't have TurboText, so you are on your own
- in terms of installation. Thanks Willy!

- Here are the Installation instructions. (Please, reinstall,
- since changes were made, and the version Loren distributed
- doesn't actually work - Loren's fault, as he will be the
- first to admit... 8^)

-
- Installation:
- -------------
- 1. Copy QuickSort to somewhere in your path.
- 2. Add to your user-startup:
- run >nil: <nil: quicksort
- 3. Copy spellfix.ttx to somewhere Turbotext can
- find it.
- 4. Reboot (or run quicksort by hand this time).
-
- Usage:
- ------
- 1. Edit a file that needs to be spell-fixed, with
- Turbotext. Select "Exec ARexx..." from the
- Turbotext. Select spellfix.ttx.
- 2. The Turbotext window will be shrunk some and
- another window will open at the top with some
- buttons and menus. It may take a while, because
- the spellfix exec will start ISpell if it is
- not yet running, and scan your entire file for
- problems. It will eventually put you at the first
- error.
- 3. The buttons are fairly obvious. The Select button
- is only useful when it is highlighted - it means
- there is a set of alternatives you can choose from.
- The text below the buttons gives you usually
- sufficient help to figure out what to do. A quick
- summary of the buttons follows below.
- 4. All buttons have menu equivalents.
- 5. You may want to add spellfix as a function key or
- menu item to the TTX_Startup.dfn file - see the
- Turbotext docs.
- 6. The spellfix.ttx exec takes one argument: "all".
- when given, also "closest root" errors will be
- marked. By default this is disabled, as I find
- it mostly useless.
-
-
- Button summary:
- ---------------
- Add: Add this word to the dictionary.
- Next: Skip this word.
- Select: When highlighted, brings up a list of
- alternative spellings.
-
- S/R: Brings up a search/replace requester with
- the most recently found mistake as "Search"
- and the most recently selected alternative
- spelling as "Replace" strings.
-
- Save Additions: Makes the words "added" permanently part of
- the dictionary - otherwise, the words Added
- are only kept for this session of ISpell.
- Exit Ispell: Exits ISpell the program and the spellfix
- exec. Additions not saved will be lost.
- Leave: Same as clicking the close button: go back
- to regular edit mode, but leave ISpell running.
- This makes the next spellfix session go much
- faster.
