Yeah, but I have found that the spell checker isn't always right either.  I 
know I am not the greatest speller, but for example, I always was taught 
that, "Postoffice," was one word.  Yet, when I use that, my Outlook Express 
and Word spell checker always flags it.  That's one thing I liked about Dos. 
It's programs spell checked closer to the way I learned grammar than do most 
Windows programs.
