    From Rick V@1:154/110 to All on Sat May 17 13:43:07 2025
    Hello All.

    I'm looking for a dictionary that will work with GoldEd.

    Thanks,
    Rick V

    Merriam Webster's dictionary should work with just about anything.

    Otherwise, without more detailed information.. I have no idea what you're talking about. I searched "dictionary" in both Golded manuals and came up with nothing. Do you mean a spell checker?

    Golded doesn't do anything right out of the box. It needs to be
    configured first.

    Right. You didn't mention that whatsoever. Instead, you pressed him to install hunspell, which I don't see mentioned anywhere in the manuals. I'd imagine more than just hunspell would work, since you can provide a command line to it.

    That might be so, but it doesn't hurt to mention that golded needs
    hunspell and at least one wordlist to check your spelling.

    Yes, and he will need hunspell to utilize the spell checker in golded.

    Could you point me to where you see 'hunspell' specifically mentioned, please?
