SPELLTELL(1) SPELLTELL(1)
NAME
spelltell - find the correct spelling of a word
SYNOPSIS
spelltell [ -flags ][ -ver ] [ wordpart | grep(1)-regular-
expression ... ]
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of spelltell is to find the correct spelling of
a word. The input to the program can be either:
1. any contiguous letters in the word that are known to
be correct; or
2. a grep(1) regular expression representing a cor-
rectly spelled part of the word.
Spelltell will print all words in its dictionary of commonly
misspelled words that contain the input sequence.
When spelltell is typed on a line with the input word(s), it
will print the correct spelling(s) and then exit. When
spelltell is typed on a line by itself, the program ques-
tions whether the user wants instructions, and prompts with
">" for word parts. To quit, type "q" after the prompt.
Two options give information about the program:
-flags print the command synopsis line (see above)
showing command flags and options, then exit.
-ver print the Writer's Workbench version number of
the command, then exit.
EXAMPLES
1. The command:
spelltell rece
will print:
precede
preceding
recede
receiving
etc.
then exit.
2. The command:
SPELLTELL(1) SPELLTELL(1)
spelltell
^proce
will print "proceed" and other words that begin with
"proce," and will then prompt the user for another letter
sequence or regular expression.
