I plead guilty of the spelling mistake, I did rush it out this morning
but I would have made the same spelling mistake. I'm afraid that I learned
to spell by rogue ;-) memory. And as a student I did not particularly
like english (we used milk cartons to learn sentence structure). I still
have trouble remembering the spellings and some english rules. One of my
co-workers learned to spell phonetically and is quite good at spelling
and can pronounce anyone's name (including those foreign to the US).

Of course I now can program in at least a dozen different languages
from assembler to various high level languages. Makes me wonder why
I can't learn other languages.

Anyone have any good links to English grammar rules? I'll also try to
use my spell checker more often.

PS: Thanks for all the info on installing the CD, I will attempt to
install it tomorrow. I have my disk dka500 and the CD on DKB300. I'm
still wondering where I am at the '$' prompt.
