    Thanks for that, I'll see if I can freq them locally.  I haven't had
a problem sorting with TSE (Qedit) before.  I used the first 15
characters to attempt sorting a tagline file of 455317k.  The result was
a file (get this) of 455413k - with all 9388 lines duplicated!  Word
wrap is off.  Double lines but the same size file?
    Why the sort is duplicating each entry is beyond me.  Supposedly
they're working on it.

    Thanks for the tip, I'll take another look, but my initial
impression was that I found Boxer awfully big and clutzy.  I love the
spell checker in TSE and its clean, uncluttered interface.
