Note that, if lynx does not contain support for a configurable spellchecker, you can get a somewhat similar effect by writing a shellscript that runs the editor-of-choice and the the spellchecker-of-choice (optionally looping afterwards, such as when the spellchecker complains), then telling lynx to use that script as its external editor. That does, however, depend on being competent to write shellscripts. It isn't clear to me from the thread-so-far whether anyone involved with the end user is competent to write such a thing. (I am competent enough to write the script, but I don't know relevant things such as the preferred spellchecker's interface.) /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
