I don't want to prolong the discussion of finding the
function call you want in the Customization Guide, but I
tried Harry's example, the one for the Thesaurus. Harry is
right that "thesaurus" is not listed in the book's index. I
therefore turned directly to the list of function calls by
category (pp. 65-67; In the XW Ref Guide, pp. 18-56 to
18-58), and took a quick look. Since it's only 3 pages, it
didn't take long to see that one of the categories is
"Spelling/Thesaurus." Sure enough, it includes the SY
function. Since the details are in the alphabetical list
that follows, a look at it explained what SY is and what key
it is assigned to. Not bad. A *lot* faster than with Word
Perfect.
