RE: A modest proposal for a Frame enhancement



Even better would be an option to use a different dictionary to spell-
check sections with certain paragraph and/or character tags. Example:
in the code sections I deal with, "rom" and "ram" are the only acceptable
three-letter words starting with r and ending with m. But the standard
dictionary also accepts "rim" -- which is a very easy-to-do typo for 
"rom". I would like to be able to set up a "Code" dictionary and use 
it to check all the code fragments, while the standard dictionary 
ignores all the code fragments.
