If you want to execute sharespell in the above manner, you would have
to have its files installed in a directory that is on your path. If
sharespell is installed in a directory that is not on your path, then
you have to specify the full path on that line in your Yarn config
file, e.g. c:\sharespell\sharespell.exe. Try the second suggestion,
and you should be able to get it working.

"O" indicates that the message is old, and has not been completely
read. "A" indicates that you sent a reply to the message, i.e.
answered it. I see these flags, as well as "N" (new) and "R" (read),
with email messages. If you see messages that have no flag at all,
and you just wish to mark them as read, you can just hit your Del key
to do so. But, if you want to look at these messages and have them
marked as read, you should read them completely.

I hope this information helps.
