Re: auto-correct in 3.58

[yesss@xxxxxxxx]

	I recently installed the latest version
	of 3+ (3.58, I think), and now the
	auto-correct function doesn't work. [...]
	The little "c" still shows on the command
	line, and the shortcut definitions come up
	as suggested corrections, but it doesn't
	correct on the fly like it used to.

	All the problems I've had with 3.58 spell
	functions have been due to there not being a
	path to the dictionaries in the autoexec.bat
	(or in the environment path for NT).

Hi, Jay. If you're asking about auto-correct--as
certainly seems to be the case (your Subject: even
says so)--and followed Brian's advice, the problem
probably disappeared.

	Didn't XyQuest eliminate or modify
	auto-correct in 3.56 because of a (frivolous)
	patent lawsuit?

No. XyQuest had to modify--didn't eliminate--auto-replace
in the last v3 releases. Although this answers a question
that I believe hasn't been asked, I'll note for the record,
in brief, that auto-replace works in those releases if you
insert func AR on five keys in your custom kbd--hyphen,
apostrophe, slash, space, and return--like such:
	53=AR,/
