Saw your msg on INFO-CPM.  I DO have Word* 3.0 -- AND SPELL from SIMTEL20.
WHAT auto-correction feature??

Also, re downloading to a PC - if the problem is moving binary files
(especially that DICT.DIC) through your data channels -- I solved that
(moving through an ornery TAC) with HEXIFYing it to ASCII, moving it down,
using Word* to break the HEX file up into memory-sized (about 40KB) segments,
MLOAD (or LOAD)ing it back to Binary, reassembling the resultant .COM
segments into a nice big DICT.DIC again at the micro, and then ITSCVTing
it to strip the ITS-binary header.  Worked just fine!  (Though what a kludge!)
