   J.P. Gilliver,   
      
   I'm going to try to be as gentle with you as I possibly can because even   
   though you didn't add any value (so you wasted our time), I recognize some   
   people are on Usenet purely for the amusement value (not me, but some).   
      
   I'm here to either add tremendous value, or to obtain it (as we did from   
   Herbert who basically, with JJ, crafted a solution that works perfectly!).   
      
   My first rhetorical question, being gentle, John, is this basic question:   
   Why do you _always_ respond to the trolls, but you don't try to add value?   
      
   But moving on (since Usenet is water under the bridge), allow me to post   
   this response to you & to him together since I don't see Nobody's trolls.   
      
   I'm going to next make an _adult_ observation, which is not so much for you,   
   but for everyone out there to benefit from, since Usenet is a team sport.   
      
   Whenever something rather simple, and yet, detailed (so it's long) is   
   posted, there is _always_ a troll whose brain fogged over after the first   
   line, who then claims it's "complicated" (this happens all the time on the   
   iKook newsgroups so I'm well aware that detail confuses them to no end).   
      
   They can't comprehend that the detail is there so that everyone can do it.   
   That's because they use Usenet purely for their own sadistic amusement.   
      
   They don't _care_ one bit about the topic.   
   They don't care one bit about _solving_ the problem.   
   They are only on Usenet for their own amusement, John.   
      
   They're attention whores.   
      
   Even the ones who aren't trolls may want "Apple-like" instructions:   
   STEP 1. Type "spell" to add to the file, otherwise "spelltest" to test it.   
      
   That's it.   
   It's _that_ simple.   
      
   Now. Having written those instructions, are you satisfied John?   
   Are they now a lot simpler, John?   
   a. Run the file   
      
   That's it.   
   That's the instructions.   
   (Seriously, John, it _is_ that easy!)   
      
   BTW, the trolls are trying to derail the thread because they are attention   
   whores, where I suggest you get back to the kind-hearted purposefully   
   helpful people who made far better comments you _could_ have responded to.   
      
   To that end, I'll test Herbert's simplification, where the goal is always:   
   a. *Extreme efficiency* (to the max!) [Always a _single_ step!]   
   b. *Extreme generality* (to the max!) [Always using freeware anyone can use]   
      
   Thanks to Herbert & JJ, we have met that goal in an exemplary fashion.   
      
   To run the spelltest, just type "spelltest".   
   --   
   That may be too complex for the trolls, but not for intelligent people.
