Well, I just got Ispell 3.1ljr (w/ Arexx server mode) off of one of the comp.amiga.binaries (or was it sources) groups. Anyway I immediately replaced my ancient FF141 version of Ispell with this one so that I could use Arexx to add some nice spelling functions to CED. With the old version, I had a macro that would pass a whole CED file to the interactive mode of Ispell and send the corrected version back. Well, the new Ispell seems nice and the ability to write Arexx macros will come in handy, but it seems to me that the interactive mode is now messed-up. With my old version, the interactive one, ran on a custom screen, now it runs from a CON:, the problem is that you need to hit single key strokes (I - ignore, etc...), and this new interactive mode doesn't seem to work right, I tried hitting I + return and that still doesn't work, I have to hit "I" twice and it is still a little flakey. -Jason- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason Goldberg UUCP: ucsd!serene!cbmami!jason Del Mar, CA

Not messed up, just different (I guess, I have never seen the FF141 version. I started with Tomas Rokicki's version from BIX). > With my old version, the interactive one, ran on a custom screen, >now it runs from a CON:, The version I started from opened a WB window all the time! (never a custom screen...) I changed this, so that if you started ISpell up in a CLI window, it would use that CLI window (OR AUX: connection!). >the problem is that you need to hit single key >strokes (I - ignore, etc...), and this new interactive mode doesn't seem to >work right, I tried hitting I + return and that still doesn't work, I have >to hit "I" twice and it is still a little flakey. Nope, I don't have this problem. When I hit a single 'i', the current word gets inserted into [s:].ispell_words like it should. The only thing I can imagine is that you need ConMan to run ISpell (I don't think so!). If you want to mail me with more info, I will be more than happy to help you resolve the problem. PS, you may want to try server mode, it is really nice... [there were CED macros included with the package] >Jason Goldberg UUCP: ucsd!serene!cbmami!jason Loren J.
