Intested in adding a spell checker feature. What are people using? Any BASIC+ code / utility round that will learn new words and/or is phonetically based to cover incorrect spelling.

Ta, thanks, thats a good start - can build that into the spell-checker. I had forgotten that thread - didnt add to my kb.
If anyone has some ideas, bits of code for spell-checker glad also to receive.

RIchard-
Years ago I had hooked OI up to a public domain spell checker- it was just a DLL call as I recall- but I can't remember the product.
