Hi Derek, Just a suggestion for your spellchecker - because I have one I created for work and I made this change and now it moves much much faster.
In one of the recent informal coding challenges, one of the rev users (I'm sorry, I cannot remember who it was) came up with a cool way of doing mass comparisons. Basically, you can load the entire word list into an array, in which each element of the array is named for the word, and the content of each element is the word "true" Something like this: Repeat for each word tWord in tWordList Put true into tWordArray[tWord] End repeat Then when you go to do the comparison for a given word, you do this If not tWordArray[tWordToCheck] then -- hilite the word, or whatever End if This was much faster than checking to see if the word was contained in a list, and is nice because it is not particularly slowed down by having a very large word list. You might already be using this method, so my apologies if I am pointing out the obvious to you.

My main computer's hard drive is corrupted and I spend the better part of 2 days attempting to get as many files off of it as possible (Mostly my iTunes Library). I do have a back up that is recent enough to include the Spell Checker, but I cannot give it out at this point. I have not forgotten about you, as well as the other Revolution Developers, and I am working to get the Spell Checker finished. It would be a valuable tool for Revolution that really should have been included a long time ago in the development package.
