Regarding the good spelling checker in Word Writer and lacking in First Word Plus: I don't know if it's still available, but Thunder from Batteries Included is THE BEST spelling checker I've seen on any computer. And I've seen a few, since I was involved in evaluating packages for use with Stedman's Medical Dictionary for Stedman's owners. It didn't use that much memory, and it was fantastic at finding the correct spelling of misspelled words. It ran in the background so it could check spelling while you type, and it would work with just about any GEM program (eg NOT ST Writer). I think BI is out of business, however, and I don't know if ayone is still marketing it. You may be able to find an old copy left over. If it's not being produced anymore that's a shame. Eric
