a crazy idea, but you could use emacs - it even works on character based terminals, so no client side to install. it can spell check and do autocorrection using flyspell-mode (though it sounds like abbrev-mode is more like what you want). i shudder to think of training users in emacs though :-)
rather than transferring the files around, how about a web based editor? seems better than installing something on the client and dealing with uploads. http://www.kevinroth.com/rte/demo.htm is free, or http://www.telerik.com/?context=products&step=1 looks nifty. you could have the terminal fire off a browser, and when they click "submit" the text would be saved back via cgi and the browser window closed... ian On Mon, 2004-01-26 at 10:23, Barrie Matovcik wrote: > A snowy hello from Maryland.
