hi,
with the spell checker, i have a word: "RSVP" in the dictionary. If I 
type "rsvp", it will not suggest the fully capitalised word.

There needs to be a new function that will test whether the word is correct in 
CAPS, lower or Title.
Other capitalisation mistakes (e.g hEllo) should be picked up by 
SuggestMgr::badchar

I tried to make:
int SuggestMgr::wrongcaps(char ** wlst, const char * word, int ns)
but my I don't trust my programming without testing it :) (i don't have a C++ 
compiler).

Okay, i hope that was understandable,
Thanks!

Hi,

Agreed, I will look into adding something like this in time for 1.1 final.

Thanks,

Hi,

I think the best way to handle this is to rewrite MySpell almost
compeltely to only hash all lowercase values and keep separate
flags indicating the various capitalization's allowed.

So this will not happen by 1.1 but should come in 1.2 or later.

Thanks

Kevin
