Richard - I did this for myself recently, and it was not that difficult. You need to do two things: 1. create a script which runs an editor and then runs the spellchecker. You can run any editor you choose, pico for instance, or another editor if you wish. I run 'nano' instead of pico, and my script is given below. Put the script in /usr/local/bin or some other place on your path, and be sure it has execute permissions. 2. In the pine setup/configuration menu, go to "invoke-alternate-editor-implicitly and check it. Then you must give the name of your script, including its path, so that you are actually invoking the script instead of the editor directly. That is all there is to it. Of course there is a "ctrl-T" command in the pine composer that invokes the spell checker, but you have to remember to do that, and if you are like me you will either not remember or will be so confident that you choose not to!!! Here is the script, which you can modify and maybe simplify if you wish: ---------- #!/bin/bash if [ "$1" = "" ]; then echo Please include a file name else touch $1 /usr/local/bin/nano -R -k -p -x -r65 $1 /usr/bin/ispell -x $1 fi ---------- Good luck Chuck On Mon, 4 Feb 2002, Richard Wells wrote: > Here is another Pine question.
