You could use an On Input function to check what you type by calling an external dictionary program. While I have not done this myself (yet) I do know of others who have. GOod luck HorseC

A dictionary script would give you definitions, not check spelling. I wrote a dictionary script awhile back (kakkoiitranslations.net/mircscripts/) if you want to see an example of what a dictionary script does. As for spellcheckers, I'm sure you could find one at Hawkee or Mircscripts sites. Invision Support #Invision on irc.irchighway.net
