Thanks, Marc, but I have QuikEdit working. I was trying to help someone else 
here. My setup would not work with the canned batch file. I had to hard code 
in the check for msgtmp00x.$$$ after I found it in C:\max\temp. Also my setup 
would not accept the % variables at some places in the bat file for whatever 
reason.

I've not had any problems with the spell checker in QuikEdit at all.

Nice touch on the external spell checker.

Yes, I had this also.

Perhaps it will help someone else along the way. I do appreciate the time you 
took to get this out to us.
