 BL> Hi, Tony!

 Hi Bat .....

 BL> I really don't have any suggestions, but I use ISpell in Warp 4 in
 BL> almost identical fashion to JSpell in DOS, with a slight difference
 BL> due to the GNU parentage.

 I stumbled across Ispell over on the LEO server in Europe way back
 in 1991, at around the time I moved from DOS (4dos), to OS/2...,
 it worked fine, but something has screwed it up.
 It was one of the major reasons I use/registered "Escriba" WP,
 which I use in conjunction with Boxer.

 BL> CFSys envars:
 BL> SET ISPELL=D:\GNU\LIB\ISPELL\
 BL> SET TERMCAP=D:\GNU\LIB\ISPELL\

 I think my problem maybe this ....
 You've specified 'TERMCAP' .... which doesn't work ?
 .... but 'SET TERM' does, at the cmd-line !

 
 Thanks or the Rexx batch, I'll play with it ASAP.
 
 
 BL> I suggest that you may have replaced an earlier TERMCAP.DAT with a
 BL> newer one, which has an unrecognized (by Ispell) term therein. On my
 BL> system, I have two versions of that file. The earlier one is in my
 BL> %ISPELL% path, whilst a later one is in my EMX area. The earlier one
 BL> is: 
 BL> 4955  07/13/92  18:14:38  ----   TERMCAP  DAT  D:\GNU\LIB\ISPELL\

 Yes .... I had changed it, and it worked.
 I have the version you mentioned above and re-installed it to the
 ISPELL directory, then 'SET TERM' from the cmd-line, and it worked.
 I have changed the ansi code to reflect my preferences (Bri Yellow on
 Black), and that too is now working.
 I'm gonna 'SET TERM' in the OS/2 'Config.sys' in addition to 'SET TERMCAP',
 and see if that's the clincher.

 BL> If you will give me your email address, I'll file atch a cy of this
 BL> earlier TERMCAP.DAT.

 No need Bat, but thanks.

 BTW .... to you and others here, due to the shrinkage in Nodes available
 now in Fidonet, quite a few of my Netmails are bounced at the BBS.
 I was going to write via netmail to save bandwidth, but as I've discovered
 Netmail is out pro-tem.

 Thanks for your input, it helped to focus down. Thanks too to Will
 for his suggestion (I don't use FP 11/12 as it screwed up my Elsa
 Video - invoking 'attrib /SE /a:d' etc )... showed no RO attributes
 on the directories.
