- /* This script can be used to provide interactive spell checking to an */
- /* ARexx capable text editor. To use it, your editor needs a way to read */
- /* the last word typed and a way to pass it to ARexx. This script assumes */
- /* that the word to be checked is passed as an argument to the script, */
- /* but you could adapt the script to read the word itself. The only other */
- /* capability your editor needs to use this script for interactive spell */
- /* checking is the ability to remap the space bar. To use this script, */
- /* remap the space bar to call this script. When you misspell a word, */
- /* script will beep the screen. You may want to adapt it to also tell you */
- /* what word was misspelled. It would do this by displaying the value */
- /* passed to the environment variable Word. */
