Spell Check app


Basically, this goes through the spell check 10 word pairs at a time, and has a check box for each line, allowing you to check the word pairs you want to delete.

The basics of the app are this:
1) find the spell check file (it is in the Windows directory, and called somthing like autocorrect.0102.txt, but I have found that the numbers can be different)
-it also makes a copy of this file i nthe Windows directory calling it backup*.*.*
2) read in 10 words at a time, and display them
3) if any are checked, don't those to the temp file, and copy all those to be kept in the temp file (mine had about 880 word pairs)
4) if the user selects save and quit (menu item) save the remaining unviewed word pairs into the temporary file
5) Now, this was supposed to be the part that replaces the original file with the temporary file, but I was not able to figure that part out; the file is a system & hidden file (Oh, it is also a ROM file!!! DOH), and any of the functions to change its attrbutes or move or delete it failed; so I just display a message at the end as to what file to delete and move; but I can't do that, even though the TiltMobility atricle says you can, perhaps you will be able to
