For example:      s   $ SPELL/FORMAT  DICNAME.LGP  u    e9   Note that if you combine /FORMAT with other qualifiers,o!   you must specify /FORMAT first.-  -:   Words are arranged in columns across the page. Each new :   initial letter begins a new paragraph. If you want each 9   word to be positioned on a new line, use the /NOPACKED     qualifier. For example:  p    r'   $ SPELL/FORMAT/NOPACKED  DICNAME.LGP       9   If you want to see a list of duplicate words that are   1   removed, use the /LOG qualifier. For example:  p    y"   $ SPELL/FORMAT/LOG  DICNAME.LGP     l    e   How DECspell Defines a Word      9   DECspell considers any set of alphanumeric characters,  1   separated by spaces, punctuation marks or line  4   boundaries, to be a word.  Words may also contain 4   certain other special characters, such as hyphen, 3   period, apostrophe, ampersand (&) or dollar ($).       :   However, if the document is in RUNOFF format, DECspell  1   does not consider RUNOFF commands to be words. c    w8   Words are verified only if they contain an alphabetic 
   character.               Hyphenation      8   If a word contains a hyphen, DECspell will check each 2   part of the word.  If either part is not in the 8   dictionary, the word will be highlighted as an error.     h        Capitalization     9   If you add a word to your personal dictionary that has  :   an initial capital, for example David, the same word in -   lowercase will be highlighted as an error. s    e9   If you add a word all in uppercase, for example JANE,   8   the same word with only an initial capital or all in  -   lowercase will be highlighted as an error.       7   However, if you add a word that is all in lowercase,  3   for example jones, the same word with an initial  4   capital or all in uppercase is passed as correct.          DCL Command Qualifiers       3   Ignore this page if you are using DECspell from      ALL-IN-1.     e4   Qualifiers alter the way DECspell works.  You use 8   them when starting DECspell.  You can abbreviate any  -   qualifier and use more than one at a time.          /OUTPUT                   4   Gives the corrected document a new name. If this  8   qualifier is not used the corrected document will be  8   stored under its original name with a higher version     number. For example:        e'   $ SPELL/OUTPUT=NEWNAME.TXT  NAME.TXT l        /NOPERSONAL_DICTIONARY   e-   Prevents your default personal dictionary  a9   (PERSONAL.LGP) being used for checking. For example:   -    -   $ SPELL/NOPERS  NAME.TXT -    -   /PERSONAL_DICTIONARY -8   Specifies a different current personal dictionary to  :   that used during the previous spelling check (that is,  8   the dictionary to which words will be added when you  9   use the ADD option on the DECspell Command Menu). For  e   example: o        $ SPELL/PERS=DICT1  NAME.TXT u    i   /DICTIONARY               7   Specifies personal dictionaries for checking, other   8   than your default personal dictionary. For example:        '   $ SPELL/DICT=(DICT1,DICT2)  NAME.TXT      n   /KEYPAD                  y9   Specifies an alternative editor layout to the default  e6   WPS keypad layout. You can specify WPS or EDT. For  
   example:            $ SPELL/KEYPAD=EDT  NAME.TXT          /MASTER_DICTIONARY        6   Specifies an alternative master dictionary to your  4   default master dictionary. You can choose either  4   AMERICAN or BRITISH. The default depends on your  8   installation. (NOTE: You can only use this qualifier  :   if the system you are using has both dictionaries.) For 
   example:   o     !   $ SPELL/MAST=BRITISH  NAME.TXT d    i   /DX                      e:   Displays the index of your documents created on a word  7   processor and transferred by DX. You can select the   "   required document for checking. ;   (Note: If you combine /DX with other qualifiers, you mustn&   specify /DX first.)  For example:       r
   $ SPELL/DX d     
   /RUNOFF :   Indicates that the document is a RUNOFF document, if it 9   does not already have a .RN% file type. DECspell then   3   by-passes the RUNOFF commands when checking the  -   document. For example:   n    I   $ SPELL/RUNOFF  NAME.TXT       o   Helpful Hints      5   o You are encouraged to add words to your personal  9     dictionaries whenever you check a document. When you C1     first use DECspell many of your specialized  a8     words will be highlighted as errors and so it will  0     take longer to check documents. As you add  :     specialized words to your personal dictionaries fewer )     words will be highlighted as errors.       9   o DECspell compiles corrections lists from the master   :     dictionary, any personal dictionaries being used and  )     any words you IGNORE in the session. e     /   o Remember that GLOBAL REPLACE replaces the  .9     unrecognized word throughout the document. However,  n:     if you finish using DECspell before you have checked  :     the whole document, GLOBAL REPLACE replaces the word  .     only as far as the document has reached.       8   o Be careful not to add real spelling errors to your  4     personal dictionaries. (NOTE: You can edit the        dictionary to remove them.)      :   o Remember that if you finish using DECspell before you 9     have checked the whole document, words you selected   :     to PASS or IGNORE will be highlighted as errors when  &     you return to check the document.      :   o You cannot use the DICTIONARY option unless you have  9     chosen to use more than one dictionary for checking. b    .:   o Remember you cannot go back through a document while       using DECspell.     e   Further Information     D4   For more information on the VMS operating system, %   refer to the VAX/VMS document set. d    n5   For more information on DECspell, refer to the VAX  *   DECspell System and Installation Guide.   i  r   9   The information in this document is subject to change  i3   without notice and should not be construed as a   9   commitment by Digital Equipment Corporation.

  manager.)     Personal Dictionaries  N0  The documents you check may contain specialized8  words that are not in DECspell's master dictionary; for8  example, names of people, jargon or words specific to a  profession.   5  You can create personal dictionaries to contain suchr4  words, and use them for checking. This will prevent#  these words being found as errors.r      To Create Personal Dictionaries  D/  The first time you use DECspell, you are asked ,  whether you would like to create a personal*  dictionary. Type Y if you would like one.0  This dictionary is called your DEFAULT personal(  dictionary. It is stored under the name*  PERSONAL.LGP in your top level directory.  f)  Use your editor to create other personalr2  dictionaries in your top level directory with the  file type .LGP   i  For example: $ EDIT STAFF.LGP  i2  When adding to them with your editor, you can put5  more than one word per line; separate the words withh'  spaces. The words can be in any order.   N)  Using Personal Dictionaries for Checkingr  y4  Your default personal dictionary is always used for4  checking, unless you use the /NOPERSONAL_DICTIONARY"  qualifier when starting DECspell.   0  To use other personal dictionaries for checking,  use the /DICTIONARY qualifier when starting  DECspell. For example:u  t'  $ SPELL/DICTIONARY=STAFF.LGP  NAME.TXTF  A,  You can use up to ten personal dictionaries1  including those created by other DECspell users. 4  Enclose a list within brackets () and separate each  dictionary name with a comma.  f'  Adding Words While Checking a Documenti  i4  When you use the ADD option on the DECspell Command.  Menu, words are added to the current personal4  dictionary. Unless you specify otherwise, this will%  be your default personal dictionary.   E2  Use the DICTIONARY option on the DECspell Command-  Menu to select any other dictionary that youn4  specified with the /DICTIONARY qualifier, to be the  current personal dictionary.B  R2  When you select DICTIONARY the dictionaries being2  used for checking are displayed, with the current!  personal dictionary highlighted.d   5  To change to a new current personal dictionary, moved5  the highlighting to the required dictionary with the   arrow keys and press RETURN.l  e,  NOTE: If you use the /NOPERSONAL_DICTIONARY.  qualifier when starting DECspell, the current4  personal dictionary is the first one specified with  the /DICTIONARY qualifier.    '  To Add Words While Checking a Documentu  l4  When you use the ADD option on the DECspell Command.  Menu, words are added to the current personal4  dictionary. Unless you changed it on the Dictionary3  Selection Form, this will be your default personali  dictionary.  k3  To add to an alternative dictionary while checking -  a document, use the DICTIONARY option on the 5  DECspell Command Menu to change the current personal   dictionary.   1  You can only add to one personal dictionary at a   time.  o  The Dictionary Formatter   e1  The DECspell dictionary formatter organizes yourG-  personal dictionaries in the following ways:o  e,  o sorts the entries into alphanumeric order  s  o removes duplicate entries   ,  Enter SPELL/FORMAT, followed by the name of  the dictionary. For example:t     $ SPELL/FORMAT  DICNAME.LGP   8  Note that if you combine /FORMAT with other qualifiers,   you must specify /FORMAT first.  n8  Words are arranged in columns across the page. Each new8  initial letter begins a new paragraph. If you want each7  word to be positioned on a new line, use the /NOPACKED   qualifier. For example:  i%  $ SPELL/FORMAT/NOPACKED  DICNAME.LGPs   6  If you want to see a list of duplicate words that are.  removed, use the /LOG qualifier. For example:  i   $ SPELL/FORMAT/LOG  DICNAME.LGP  p  r  How DECspell Defines a Word  b7  DECspell considers any set of alphanumeric characters, /  separated by spaces, punctuation marks or line	2  boundaries, to be a word.  Words may also contain2  certain other special characters, such as hyphen,1  period, apostrophe, ampersand (&) or dollar ($).    7  However, if the document is in RUNOFF format, DECspello/  does not consider RUNOFF commands to be words.c  k6  Words are verified only if they contain an alphabetic  character.s  l  Hyphenation  p6  If a word contains a hyphen, DECspell will check each0  part of the word.  If either part is not in the6  dictionary, the word will be highlighted as an error.  W  e  Capitalizationl  o7  If you add a word to your personal dictionary that hasl8  an initial capital, for example David, the same word in+  lowercase will be highlighted as an error.c  W6  If you add a word all in uppercase, for example JANE,5  the same word with only an initial capital or all iny+  lowercase will be highlighted as an error.   l5  However, if you add a word that is all in lowercase,s1  for example jones, the same word with an initial 2  capital or all in uppercase is passed as correct.  u  g  DCL Command Qualifiersr  k2  Qualifiers alter the way DECspell works.  You use5  them when starting DECspell.  You can abbreviate anyh+  qualifier and use more than one at a time.r  i  /OUTPUT1  Gives the corrected document a new name. If this 5  qualifier is not used the corrected document will be.5  stored under its original name with a higher versioni  number. For example:n  h%  $ SPELL/OUTPUT=NEWNAME.TXT  NAME.TXTe  s  /NOPERSONAL_DICTIONARYo*  Prevents your default personal dictionary5  (PERSONAL.LGP) being used for checking. For example:t  s  $ SPELL/NOPERS  NAME.TXTt  o  /PERSONAL_DICTIONARY 5  Specifies a different current personal dictionary to 7  that used during the previous spelling check (that is, 5  the dictionary to which words will be added when youe6  use the ADD option on the DECspell Command Menu). For	  example:   t  $ SPELL/PERS=DICT1  NAME.TXTw     /DICTIONARY4  Specifies personal dictionaries for checking, other4  than your default personal dictionary. For example:  C%  $ SPELL/DICT=(DICT1,DICT2)  NAME.TXT   I  /KEYPAD6  Specifies an alternative editor layout to the default3  WPS keypad layout. You can specify WPS or EDT. For 	  example:n  d  $ SPELL/KEYPAD=EDT  NAME.TXT   i  /MASTER_DICTIONARYL3  Specifies an alternative master dictionary to youre1  default master dictionary. You can choose eitherh1  AMERICAN or BRITISH. The default depends on your 5  installation. (NOTE: You can only use this qualifier 8  if the system you are using has both dictionaries.) For	  example:c  n  $ SPELL/MAST=BRITISH  NAME.TXTT  d  /RUNOFF8  Indicates that the document is a RUNOFF document, if it6  does not already have a .RN% file type. DECspell then0  by-passes the RUNOFF commands when checking the  document. For example:   t  $ SPELL/RUNOFF  NAME.TXTi  i  s  Helpful Hints  c3  o You are encouraged to add words to your personalt5  dictionaries whenever you check a document. When youS,  first use DECspell many of your specialized3  words will be highlighted as errors and so it willy+  take longer to check documents. As you addm6  specialized words to your personal dictionaries fewer%  words will be highlighted as errors.s  f6  o DECspell compiles corrections lists from the master5  dictionary, any personal dictionaries being used and %  any words you IGNORE in the session.u  e,  o Remember that GLOBAL REPLACE replaces the4  unrecognized word throughout the document. However,5  if you finish using DECspell before you have checkedp5  the whole document, GLOBAL REPLACE replaces the worde)  only as far as the document has reached.   n5  o Be careful not to add real spelling errors to your /  personal dictionaries. (NOTE: You can edit the   dictionary to remove them.)  e8  o Remember that if you finish using DECspell before you4  have checked the whole document, words you selected5  to PASS or IGNORE will be highlighted as errors when "  you return to check the document.  y7  o You cannot use the DICTIONARY option unless you havee5  chosen to use more than one dictionary for checking.y  i7  o Remember you cannot go back through a document whileE  using DECspell.     Further Information  g6  For more information on the OpenVMS operating system,#  refer to the OpenVMS document set.e  g3  For more information on DECspell, refer to the VAXn(  DECspell System and Installation Guide.  t4  The information presented here is subject to change0  without notice and should not be construed as a6  commitment by Digital Equipment Corporation.
