I don't recall getting installation instructions (I may have
lost them) and I don't have TurboText, so you are on your own
in terms of installation. Thanks Willy!

Here are the Installation instructions. (Please, reinstall,
since changes were made, and the version Loren distributed
doesn't actually work - Loren's fault, as he will be the
first to admit... 8^)
Willy.
November 25, 1992.
Installation:
-------------
1. Copy QuickSort to somewhere in your path.
2. Add to your user-startup:
run >nil: <nil: quicksort
3. Copy spellfix.ttx to somewhere Turbotext can
find it.
4. Reboot (or run quicksort by hand this time).
Usage:
------
1. Edit a file that needs to be spell-fixed, with
Turbotext. Select "Exec ARexx..." from the
Turbotext. Select spellfix.ttx.
2. The Turbotext window will be shrunk some and
another window will open at the top with some
buttons and menus. It may take a while, because
the spellfix exec will start ISpell if it is
not yet running, and scan your entire file for
problems. It will eventually put you at the first
error.
3. The buttons are fairly obvious. The Select button
is only useful when it is highlighted - it means
there is a set of alternatives you can choose from.
The text below the buttons gives you usually
sufficient help to figure out what to do. A quick
summary of the buttons follows below.
4. All buttons have menu equivalents.
5. You may want to add spellfix as a function key or
menu item to the TTX_Startup.dfn file - see the
Turbotext docs.
6. The spellfix.ttx exec takes one argument: "all".
when given, also "closest root" errors will be
marked. By default this is disabled, as I find
it mostly useless.
Button summary:
---------------
Add: Add this word to the dictionary.
Next: Skip this word.
Select: When highlighted, brings up a list of
alternative spellings.
S/R: Brings up a search/replace requester with
the most recently found mistake as "Search"
and the most recently selected alternative
spelling as "Replace" strings.
Save Additions: Makes the words "added" permanently part of
the dictionary - otherwise, the words Added
are only kept for this session of ISpell.
Exit Ispell: Exits ISpell the program and the spellfix
exec. Additions not saved will be lost.
Leave: Same as clicking the close button: go back
to regular edit mode, but leave ISpell running.
This makes the next spellfix session go much
faster.
