Hi. There are two separate files for the WP dictionary (spell-checker)
and the thesaurus. The dictionary is called "lex.wp". The user dictionary
(that you add your own words to) is called "sup.wp". The thesaurus is
called "th.wp". I have all three of these files in the same directory that
I have the WP program file. I have them installed on my hard drive in a
directory called, WP on partition fh1:.
I have three assignments as follows:
WP: fh1:WP
Spell.Thes: fh1:WP
Print: fh1:WP/PRINT
So you need to assign WP:, Spell.Thes:, and Print: to the directory
that they reside in. Note that I also have a PRINT sub-directory in my WP
directory. That directory contains all of the PRINT files. Also note that
although the assignment is for "Spell.Thes:", there is no file with that
name. "Spell.Thes:" is the volume name of the floppy disk that the
dictionary and thesaurus come on. When you install those files on a hard
drive, you have to assign the volume name to the correct hard drive
partition and directory.
I also have a Path command in my user-startup file as follows:
Path WP: Print: add
Finally, you should use the WP Set-Up program and select the first item
to set the path to the Dictionary and Thesaurus files. It will present you
with a file requester and allow you to select the path for the main and
supplemental dictionaries, and for the thesaurus.
Good luck. Please let me know if you have any more questions and if you
get everything working.
