Sorry Pete but I just had to add my two cents worth.

For those who wish to use a spelling checker I wish to provide the following
article which was included in the Denison University Spelling Checker
Documentation.

                   USER BEE WEAR !!!
A soft wear package witch checks spelling is no mower than a weigh to
verify.  That the weird, as it appears inn the taxed is also in the
stored file.  It can knot correct arrows in punctuation ore usage:
and it will not fined words witch are mis-used butt spelled rite.
four example, this paragraph wood bee past by most such programs,
even though is has mini flaws.  Their fore, the massage is that proof-reading
is knot eliminated by using such a package, and is still berry much
reek wired.

The only spelling that I hope is correct is the name of the VMS SYMBOL/ENTRY
that is being discussed.
