╘HE DICTIONARY MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, CALLED ╥╙ ─╔├╘ ═┴L╬╘, ADDS NEW WORDS TO THE DICTIONARY. ╘HE LIST OF WORDS TO BE ADDED CAN BE THE FILE CREATED BY THE SPELL CHECKER, OR YOU CAN CREATE IT WITH ╥╒╬ ╙CRIPT ╨LUS BY TYPING WORDS IN, THEN SAVING THEM TO DISK (SEE BELOW).
╫HEN TYPING DICTIONARY WORDS INTO ╥╒╬ ╙CRIPT ╨LUS, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT EACH WORD IS SEPARATED FROM THE OTHERS BY SOME NONALPHABETIC CHARACTER SUCH AS A SPACE OR CARRIAGE RETURN.
┼IGHT COMMANDS (L S A $ > < X ┼) IN THE ─╔├╘ ═┴╔╬╘ PROGRAM ARE ACTIVATED BY PRESSING ╞1, THEN THE APPROPRIATE KEY. ╔N ADDITION, THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS CAN BE USED:
╧--╙ORT ANY WORDS IN MEMORY INTO ALPHABETICAL ORDER, THEN SAVE THE ENTIRE SORTED LIST TO DISK.
╒--╒NPACK A DICTIONARY FILE INTO TEXT, WHICH LETS YOU EDIT TEXT IN THE FILE WITH ╥╒╬ ╙CRIPT ╨LUS. ╒SE THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE TO EDIT A DICTIONARY FILE:
╠OAD AND RUN THE ─╔├╘ ═┴╔╬╘ PROGRAM. ╨RESS ╞1, THEN ╒. ┼NTER THE FILENAME OF THE DESIRED DICTIONARY FILE, FROM "╥╙.┴" THROUGH "╥╙.┌." ┴FTER THE FILE IS UNPACKED, SAVE THE UNPACKED FILE WITH EITHER THE ╞1,S OR ╞1,@ COMMAND. ┼DIT THE FILE WITH ╥╒╬ ╙CRIPT ╨LUS AND RESAVE IT. ╠OAD AND RUN THE ─╔├╘ ═┴L╬╘ PROGRAM. ╠OAD IN THE EDITED FILE. ╨RESS ╞1,╧ TO SORT THE WORDS AND SAVE THEM TO DISK. ╠OAD THE FILE SAVED WITH THE ╞1,╧ COMMAND. ┴T THIS POINT YOU CAN, IF YOU WISH, PRESS ╞1,┼ TO SEE HOW MANY WORDS THERE ARE IN THIS FILE. ╨RESS ╞1,╨ TO REPACK THE FILE INTO DICTIONARY FORMAT. ═AKE SURE THE FILE IS ASSIGNED THE CORRECT FILENAME.
╨--╨ACKS A LIST OF WORDS INTO DICTIONARY FORMAT. ╘HE WORDS MUST BE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, AND EACH MUST BE FOLLOWED BY A CARRIAGE RETURN CHARACTER (SEE ╞1,╧).
─--═ERGES A LIST OF WORDS INTO THE DICTIONARY. ╘HE LIST MUST BE IN THE CORRECT FORMAT--IT MUST HAVE BEEN CREATED EITHER BY THE SPELL CHECKER OR BY THE ╞1,╧ COMMAND. ╠ISTS OF WORDS CREATED WITH ╥╒╬ ╙CRIPT ╨LUS REQUIRE PROCESSING THROUGH THE ╞1,╧ COMMAND BEFORE THEY ARE ACCEPTABLE. ╘HE WORD LIST AND THE DICTIONARY FILES MUST SHARE THE SAME DISK.
╞IRST, A "DEVICE NUMBER FOR DICTIONARY?" PROMPT APPEARS. ┼NTER THE DEVICE NUMBER CONTAINING THE DICTIONARY FILES. ╘HIS CAN BE A CONVENTIONAL DISK DRIVE, A 1581 DRIVE OR A ╥┴═ DISK. ╬EXT AN "ADDED WORDS FILENAME?" PROMPT APPEARS. ┼NTER THE FILENAME OF THE LIST OF WORDS YOU WANT MERGED INTO THE DICTIONARY. ╞INALLY, A "DEVICE NUMBER FOR NEW DICTIONARY?" PROMPT IS DISPLAYED. ┼NTER THE DEVICE NUMBER ON WHICH TO STORE THE NEW DICTIONARY FILES.
┬E FOREWARNED THAT DICTIONARY FILES LARGER THAN 8000 BYTES CAN CRASH THE SPELL CHECKER.
╞OR MAXIMUM SPEED, IT'S BEST TO CREATE A PERSONALIZED DICTIONARY, WHICH CONTAINS ONLY WORDS THAT YOU COMMONLY USE. ╙TART BY LOADING AND RUNNING THE SPELL CHECKER. ╔T DOESN'T MATTER THAT NO DICTIONARY EXISTS. ╩UST USE ANY BLANK, FORMATTED DISK AS A DICTIONARY DISK. ╬EXT, LOAD IN FOUR OR FIVE OF YOUR OLD ╥╒╬ ╙CRIPT TEXT FILES AND USE THE ╞1,╤ COMMAND ON THEM. ╔F YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY OLD TEXT FILES, CREATE ONE WITH ╥╒╬ ╙CRIPT ╨LUS BY TYPING IN COMMON WORDS FROM A DICTIONARY (THE BOOK TYPE).
┴FTER YOU'VE CREATED A FEW FILES OF ADDED WORDS, EXIT THE SPELL CHECKER AND RUN THE ─╔├╘ ═┴╔╬╘ PROGRAM. ╒SE THE ╞1,A COMMAND TO LOAD ALL YOUR FILES OF ADDED WORDS INTO MEMORY. ╘HE ─╔├╘ ═┴╔╬╘ TEXT AREA HOLDS BETWEEN 4000 AND 5000 TOTAL WORDS. ╒SE THE ╞1,┼ COMMAND TO BE CERTAIN THESE LIMITS ARE NOT EXCEEDED.
┴FTER YOU PLACE A LARGE FILE IN MEMORY, EXECUTE THE ╞1,╧ COMMAND TO WRITE THE UNIQUE WORDS OUT TO DISK, THEN EXECUTE THE ╞1,─ COMMAND. ╙INCE NO DICTIONARY FILE EXISTS YET, THE INITIAL USE OF ╞1,─ CREATES ONE AND GETS YOU STARTED.
