Thanks for the help! I did some more searching on the drive that holds TB; it's not the system drive itself but another, larger one. I found a couple of copies of the whole TB directory, stemming from long-ago disasters, and one of them held three *.TLX files. One of them was the AM version; the others are named ACCENT.TLX and CORRECT.TLX. Apparently the last time I installed TB, some 5 or 6 years ago, I somehow failed to get the spell checker fully functional although enough of it did get in to provide me the squiggly red line beneath unrecognized words. I copied all three over to the active directory where the international pack had put all the others, re-started TB, and everything now seems to work properly or at least as I would expect. I can add words, both as words to be accepted and as words to be corrected, and they persist from day to day. The only question I have left involves the format of TLX files; I'd like to find a help file or article that exposes their details. They appear to be plain text, one word to a line, and entries in the WinXP registry tell TB which of them to use -- but they have a few mysteries, and I always want to know what goes on behind the curtain (as in "Undocumented DOS," a book I co-authored some 23 years ago). I'm also curious about the ACCENT.TLX file and why it's different from the language-specific ones... -- Best regards, Jim mailto:j...@jimkyle.com Using The Bat! v4.2.36.4 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 on VirtualBox 4.2.18 under Xubuntu 12.04.3 with AntiSpamSniper Version 3.2.4.5 ________________________________________________ Current version is 6.1.8 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
