My apologies; I meant to repond to your message and have not yet. So I will now. I've made noises in the now-distant past about making spell-checking customizable after the manner of the new completion system. (See 2407 and 4577 for examples.) We ended up doing approximation in completion entirely independently of spell-checking. However, I still think it'd be useful to put a hook in spckword() for e.g. calling to a user-defined function that could perform whatever corrections the user likes. This would be preferable to adding yet another option, I think.

It's used to disambiguate so as to offer only a single correction. You don't gain much when alternatives could result from missed keys in more than one direction, which does happen occasionally. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
