Suffixes & SPL

[Morris Krok essence@xxxxxxxx]

from Morris,

 There is method in my madness in sending the file on spellings and plurals.
This merely a prelude to what I am quering in this e-mail.

 Has anyone thought of writing an XPL program that takes the root word and
without listing its derivatives, enables one to add the appropriate suffix
to it so that the one you want appears in the text you are typing. This
refers to an SPL (;SP;)file of abbreviations and longforms.

 For instance the word "receive", has as its shortform "rcv" but without
listing its alternative such as "received", "receives", "receiver",
"receiving", and "receivership", it will enable you to select the
appropriate one with the minimum of key presses.

 I know that PRD+ (Productivity Software International) has one.

 By the way thank you for calling my attention to "weigh" and "neighbor" as
examples not following the rule.
