Not currently possible.  From memory, I asked about this sometime in 1995
shortly after I started using Msged (well before I became the distributor).
 I'd since forgotten about it.  If I have time I'll code that feature into
4.2 beta 3.

Up until Msged 4.2, CurStart and CurEnd were only supported in the DOS (and
Windows NT, I think) versions of Msged.

How is that supposed to be implemented?

I don't personally have any real need for a spelling checking.  I can spel
grate.  A grammar checker on the other hand...

What's another word for Thesaurus?
