This is EditLex, part of PenFriend
© Design Concept
by Roger Spooner
----------------------------------------------
This program will allow you to load and save
predictive typer lexicons for PenFriend and 'PAL'
(on the IBM PC).
You should not run EditLex at the same time as
PenFriend. This is because you may lose your work
when PenFriend quits and saves its lexicon over the
one on disc.
To load a file, drag it in to the main EditLex
window. To save it, drag it from the appropraite
box on the menu of that window.
Words which are typed in by the user when PenFriend
is in use are tagged as being unverified. This
allows an experienced user (teacher) to check
through all 'New Words' from the corresponding menu
entry. This allows you to acknowledge a word or
remove it from the lexicon. Thus spelling mistakes
and inappropriate words can be missed out. You can
even change the spelling without altering the
frequency of use, or alter just the frequency.
To check a single word, click on it with the left
hand mouse button.
If a lexicon is known to be correct, you can accept
all the words without going through them
individually. Similarly, you can mark all words as
invalid by choosing the appropriate menu option.
To learn all the words in a text file (any word
processed file once saved as plain text), drag the
file in to the editor window. This can be done for
several files if desired.
Many future enhancements are planned for this
Editor program
The main lexicon for the PenFriend program is stored
in as 'MainLex' in the !PenFriend application
directory. To get at it, hold down shift and double
click on the !PenFriend application. The MainLex
file is automatically loaded when you run PenFriend.
