Hmm, well I had specified the full path (I may be new to Yarn but I know
computers! =) ), but even calling it from somewhere in the path doesn't
work! I can't understand it!

Does anyone here use sharespell successfully? Are there any other decent
spell checkers that work with Yarn?

Right!!! Thanks.. I can understand that now, I can see that's going to
be a very useful feature.... I love to scan thru the start a message
before I properly read it, this should be just what I need.

Yeah, it does... "ta muchly!".
