Hi Ezra,

here is my complete answer along with the new version, ready for 
"publishing".

Thanks.

I never thought of that. I wrote the code for the searchwindow and thats it.
Of course yours was a brilliant idea. I reworte the window, so you can use it
like the list at the right. You can tag with the RMB and by clicking with the
LMB the spell is loaded, but the window does not disapear. I could have
thought of that!

>* I personally prefer 'W' for Wizard spells, rather than 'S'.
This will be a bit difficult. I took "P" for Prayer and "S" for Spells. Not
Priest/Wizard. Perhaps I will change thisone later, but if you look at the
database there is a field "PRAY_SPEL" the is either filled with "P" or with
"S". This field is used through the whole program. I'm afraid, if I change it
I will forget to change at least one routine and this will cause some bugs.

I'm running my windows in 1024x786 and I see your point. But I like this
program to run on nearly all configurations. WinSpell does only support
resolutions 800x600 and higher and I don't like this. One thing you are not
able to change is the number of characters per line. This is reduced to max.
85 chr/l. because of printing-reasons. So if you change to a higher
resolution and resize the window you also have to change the fontsize. What
would YOU prefer: 
-Two versions of the program, one for 640x480 and one for 800x600 (done very
fast ...and very simple), or
-One version with  font-preferences to change the fontsize?
... as I read this again... I don't think you need to answer that, I know
your answer already ;-)

This was a result from changing the spells with the buttons on the toolbar.
The list is not updated correctly. The pointer on the spellist ran out of the
window. So I decided to keep the current spell the topmost spell in the list.

I "REMarked" this code and I think it will be better this way

>* Could you give my address as ezra@onyx.arts.kuleuven.ac.be instead of

Changed ;-)

Probably I did not give you all the neccessary files for printing. I will
check this one out on a freshly installed win3.x If you have any closer
information on how and when the error occurs, this will help me a lot. Visual
Basic is not very helpfully with its error-routine :-(

I can switch to the last line of the text with Ctrl-PgDn (actually my last
textposition is restored when I load a text into TSE), so I think this is
faster. Do you think, a lot of people will read this history? Mainly I wrote
this for me, to see the changes. But maybe your right, Perhaps I will change
it.

If you are able to print, I would be glad if you do so. Or you could write a
short comment like ("working, but printingproblems...") I'm afraid, that
someone interested in the program will get disappointed and not take a look
at it again, only because I forgot one or two files neccesary for printing.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your effort...                Chris

PS: I included the reports again. Ther where errors with the size. Now the
should fit exactly on a DIN-A4 letter. I hope this will work on a
"letter"-sized sheet as well.
