For example:  y     $ SPELL/FORMAT  DICNAME.LGP     8  Note that if you combine /FORMAT with other qualifiers,   you must specify /FORMAT first.  9  Words are arranged in columns across the page. Each new a9  initial letter begins a new paragraph. If you want each ,8  word to be positioned on a new line, use the /NOPACKED   qualifier. For example:     &  $ SPELL/FORMAT/NOPACKED  DICNAME.LGP    8  If you want to see a list of duplicate words that are  0  removed, use the /LOG qualifier. For example:     !  $ SPELL/FORMAT/LOG  DICNAME.LGP          How DECspell Defines a Word w   8  DECspell considers any set of alphanumeric characters, 0  separated by spaces, punctuation marks or line 3  boundaries, to be a word.  Words may also contain R3  certain other special characters, such as hyphen,  2  period, apostrophe, ampersand (&) or dollar ($).    9  However, if the document is in RUNOFF format, DECspell  i0  does not consider RUNOFF commands to be words.    7  Words are verified only if they contain an alphabetic |  character.       
  Hyphenation     7  If a word contains a hyphen, DECspell will check each -1  part of the word.  If either part is not in the -7  dictionary, the word will be highlighted as an error. i        Capitalization    8  If you add a word to your personal dictionary that has 9  an initial capital, for example David, the same word in |,  lowercase will be highlighted as an error.    8  If you add a word all in uppercase, for example JANE,  7  the same word with only an initial capital or all in   ,  lowercase will be highlighted as an error.    6  However, if you add a word that is all in lowercase, 2  for example jones, the same word with an initial 3  capital or all in uppercase is passed as correct. t       DCL Command Qualifiers    2  Ignore this page if you are using DECspell from    ALL-IN-1.     3  Qualifiers alter the way DECspell works.  You use e7  them when starting DECspell.  You can abbreviate any  u,  qualifier and use more than one at a time.      /OUTPUT                  3  Gives the corrected document a new name. If this   7  qualifier is not used the corrected document will be  t7  stored under its original name with a higher version  l  number. For example:      &  $ SPELL/OUTPUT=NEWNAME.TXT  NAME.TXT      /NOPERSONAL_DICTIONARY   ,  Prevents your default personal dictionary  8  (PERSONAL.LGP) being used for checking. For example:        $ SPELL/NOPERS  NAME.TXT      /PERSONAL_DICTIONARY 7  Specifies a different current personal dictionary to   9  that used during the previous spelling check (that is,   7  the dictionary to which words will be added when you  -8  use the ADD option on the DECspell Command Menu). For  
  example:      $ SPELL/PERS=DICT1  NAME.TXT      /DICTIONARY              6  Specifies personal dictionaries for checking, other  7  than your default personal dictionary. For example:       &  $ SPELL/DICT=(DICT1,DICT2)  NAME.TXT      /KEYPAD                  8  Specifies an alternative editor layout to the default  5  WPS keypad layout. You can specify WPS or EDT. For  s  example:        $ SPELL/KEYPAD=EDT  NAME.TXT      /MASTER_DICTIONARY       5  Specifies an alternative master dictionary to your  e3  default master dictionary. You can choose either   3  AMERICAN or BRITISH. The default depends on your  a7  installation. (NOTE: You can only use this qualifier  r9  if the system you are using has both dictionaries.) For I  example:         $ SPELL/MAST=BRITISH  NAME.TXT      /DX                      9  Displays the index of your documents created on a word  -6  processor and transferred by DX. You can select the  !  required document for checking.  :  (Note: If you combine /DX with other qualifiers, you must%  specify /DX first.)  For example:   T     $ SPELL/DX    	  /RUNOFF  9  Indicates that the document is a RUNOFF document, if it  8  does not already have a .RN% file type. DECspell then  2  by-passes the RUNOFF commands when checking the    document. For example:        $ SPELL/RUNOFF  NAME.TXT        Helpful Hints     4  o You are encouraged to add words to your personal 8    dictionaries whenever you check a document. When you 0    first use DECspell many of your specialized  7    words will be highlighted as errors and so it will   /    take longer to check documents. As you add  r9    specialized words to your personal dictionaries fewer  (    words will be highlighted as errors.    8  o DECspell compiles corrections lists from the master  9    dictionary, any personal dictionaries being used and  c(    any words you IGNORE in the session.    .  o Remember that GLOBAL REPLACE replaces the  8    unrecognized word throughout the document. However,  9    if you finish using DECspell before you have checked   9    the whole document, GLOBAL REPLACE replaces the word  e-    only as far as the document has reached.  l   7  o Be careful not to add real spelling errors to your  g3    personal dictionaries. (NOTE: You can edit the       dictionary to remove them.) h   9  o Remember that if you finish using DECspell before you p8    have checked the whole document, words you selected  9    to PASS or IGNORE will be highlighted as errors when   %    you return to check the document. -   9  o You cannot use the DICTIONARY option unless you have  e8    chosen to use more than one dictionary for checking.    9  o Remember you cannot go back through a document while       using DECspell. c     Further Information     3  For more information on the VMS operating system, o$  refer to the VAX/VMS document set.    4  For more information on DECspell, refer to the VAX )  DECspell System and Installation Guide.        8  The information in this document is subject to change  2  without notice and should not be construed as a  8  commitment by Digital Equipment Corporation.
