Hi; I have very little experience in the DOS world, so please don't yell at
me if the problem is trivial (yes, I did read the manuals).

I set up Word 5.0 on a Compaq LTE/20MB laptop; it's working fine. I then
proceeded to install the Thesaurus; it's OK, too. Finally, I used the setup
app. to install the dictionary for spell checks. It did put the file
AM-SPELL.LEX in my Word directory on the hard disk, and that name als
showed up in Word's Options under Spellchecker path or some such entry.

But every time I try to use the spellcheckeri, L)ibrary/S)pell, Word spins
the floppy drive a bit and asks me to put the Spell floppy, as if it
thought I'm running on a floppy system...

Do I need to edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT somehow? It has the path to my Word
directory in it already...     Please help!
