I teach at a college, and recently the Mac support guy there updated my
office Mac to OS 10.4.  In so doing, he reinstalled all old software,
including CE.  CE now seems to work on my office Mac, however I seem to
have lost my spell check capability.  (I tried to compose an email message
in CE yesterday, but when I attempted to check spelling, it couldn't do
it.)  I looked in the "Claris Emailer Files" folder and couldn't see
anything helpful.  Now I'm at home, using CE there, including spell check,
but I don't see anything in my home "Claris Emailer Files" folder that
looks helpful.

HOWEVER, I just did some snooping, and I found a folder on my home machine
labeled "Claris from Old System Folder" (God knows when I created this!). 
Inside that are some nifty things, such as "Claris Emailer Help" (which I
have not been able to access for ages!), "US English - Spelling," and
"User Dictionary" (which was last modified on 7/11/07, so I must be using
this!).

I snooped further and found the "System Folder" for the Classic Mac OS
that runs CE and other Classic apps, and I found the "Claris" folder
inside of that.  It contained "Claris Emailer Preferences," with a
modification date of today, so apparently that folder is being accessed
every time I fire up CE.  However, NONE of the helpful files that are now
in "Claris from Old System Folder" are present in that folder.

Questions:
--At home, spell check for CE must work because somehow I have managed to
aim the CE app at the "US English - Spelling" file that is sitting in the
"Claris from Old System Folder"---correct?
--At the office, to make spell check work again, I need to aim CE there at
the "US English - Spelling" file somehow---right?
--At both home and office, shouldn't I be able to drag and drop all of the
files I now have in "Claris from Old System Folder" back into the "Claris"
folder inside the Classic "System Folder"?  (It would be great to have CE
Help work once again!).

Since I'm on digest mode with this list, I would appreciate direct replies
to me, as well as to the whole list.

Thanks, all.

Bob Fowler
