SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows comes with a spelling checker utility. To use this
utility, choose Spelling from the Text menu. If the utility doesn't work, check
the items listed below.

MORE INFORMATION
================

In order to use the spelling checker utility, the following conditions must be
met:

- An editing window must be open, for example, a program file, memo field, or a
  text file.

- SPELLCHK.APP must be on the system.

- The system variable _SPELLCHK must contain the full path to the SPELLCHK.APP
  file (including the filename).

  To check the value of _SPELLCHK, type "?_SPELLCHK" (without the quotation
  marks) or "DISPLAY MEMORY" (without the quotation marks) in the Command
  window.

  If _SPELLCHK is blank, issue _SPELLCHK=" <pathname> <filename>" in
  the Command window or in the CONFIG.FPW file. For example:

  _SPELLCHK="C:\FOXPROW\SPELLCHK.APP"

- The file FOXTOOLS.FLL must be in the FoxPro root directory.

  NOTE: In a distributed executable, FOXTOOLS.FLL must be in the same directory
  as the ESL file. Typically the Visual FoxPro ESL file is located in the
  Windows\System directory.
