1 SPELL
		USER BEE WEAR!!!

    A soft wear package witch checks spelling is no mower than a weigh
to verify. That the weird, as it appears inn the taxed is also in the
stored file.  It can knot correct arrows in punctuation ore usage: and
it will not fined words witch are mis-used butt spelled rite.  Four example,
this paragraph wood bee past by most such programs, even though it has
mini flaws.  Their fore, the massage is that proof-reading is KNOT
eliminated by using such a package, and is still berry much reek wired.

    The SPELL command reviews the spelling of words within a text
file. Because of the complexities and subtleties of English usage, the
command will not necessarily flag all misspelled words.  In some
instances it may even flag correctly spelled words as incorrect. While
such errors will not usually occur, proper nouns, highly technical
words, and abbreviations will probably be flagged erroneously unless
provided for in the word file. The simple form of the command is: 

$ SPELL textfile

using, in place of "textfile" the actual name given to the file whose
spelling is to be checked.  The simple form of the command lists those
words that might be misspelled together with the number of the line in
the file in which the words appear. 

The complete form of the command is:

$ SPELL[/[NO]ECHO]/[NO]LISTING[=listfile]/[NO]CORRECT/[NO]RIGOR/[NO]STATISTICS
	/[NO]CHARACTERS		textfile	[wordfile]

where the items enclosed in square brackets are optional.
2 TEXTFILE
    TEXTFILE refers to the actual file name of the file containing the
words to be checked.  The default file type is TXT; that is, in the
absence of specifications to the contrary, the program expects a
file type of TXT appended to the first part of the file name.  However,
any correct file name (for example, MYFILE.WOW) can be used as long as
file types other than TXT are completely specified. 
2 WORDFILE
    WORDFILE refers to a file of words that would probably not appear
in a dictionary, such as proper nouns, places, technical words,
abbreviations, nonstandard spellings, etc.  If this parameter is not
specified then the program will assume a default file which contains
words that would be classified in these categories.
3 CREATING
    Creating a word file is relatively simple.  First build a
dictionary file containing all of the words you wish to use.  This
file must adhere to the following rules: 

	no lower case letters
	no special characters 
	one word per line
	no blank lines
	no spaces

The word file is created with the following command:

$ WORDS dictionaryfile[,dictionaryfile...] wordfile

When  multiple dictionary files are used (by separating the name of
each one with a comma) they will be be merged properly. However, only
one word file may be specified.  For dictionary files, the default
file extension is DIC;  for word files, it is WRD.  Generally, one
would wish to include the words in the default word file in one's own
word file.  To do this, the dictionary file ENGL:DEFAULT is used. 
2 /CHARACTERS
    The character parameter allows the user to skip the processing of
lines that begin with any one of a set of specified characters.
For example, the command: 

$ SPELL/CHARACTERS=; MYFILE

would cause the file MYFILE.TXT to be examined, using the default word
file, and ignoring all lines beginning with a semicolon. 
2 /NOCHARACTERS  (D)
    This qualifier disables the character function.
2 /CORRECT
    This qualifier gives the user a chance to correct words which are
flagged by the spell program as incorrect.  The corrections are made
by the user through the EDT editor, This option causes the other spell
options to be set to their default values except the rigor option.  The
correction option can be invoked only on a VT100 or VT52 terminal.
2 /NOCORRECT  (D)
    This qualifier disables the correction function.
2 /ECHO
    This qualifier instructs the program to echo all of the lines in
the text file to the listing. 
2 /NOECHO  (D)
    This qualifier disables the echoing function.
2 /LISTING[=file name]
    This qualifier directs the output of the command to a file instead
of sending it directly to the terminal.  If the LISTING qualifier is
used without specifying a file name, the name of the listing file will
the same as that of the textfile except that its file type will be
changed to LIS.  If the LISTING qualifier is used with a file name but
without a specified file type, the file type will also be supplied by
the program as LIS. 
2 /NOLISTING  (D)
    This qualifier disables the listing function.  All output will be
directed to the terminal. 
2 /RIGOR
    This qualifier rigorously checks the spelling of the text.
2 /NORIGOR    (D)
    This qualifier disables the rigorous spelling function.
2 /STATISTICS (D)
    This qualifier prints the final statistical summary for the run of the
program.
2 /NOSTATISTICS
    This qualifier suppresses the printout of the statistical summary.
