> Well, it should be 'open mode spell searching', as I give some examples on why open spelling won't always get you completely to a file. Suppose you are navigating to "xsec R430 stripped & design 9-5-00.ces". You cant remember where the spaces are or id there is 4 or 6 digitd in the date. In this case using open spelling navigation" I would be probably type "*stripped*9-5*.ces" but still have a choice to make. I'd use the cursor key to finalise my selection. Currently, and preferably I'd hit filespec either hit history, select the saved filespec *.ces (if it aint to far up the list) or just type ".ces" and use the cursor/page up/down keys to select the file. Or consider "100001.vol" when there are 20 files in the same directory with the same name but different extension. I would be using open spelling navigation to get to "1*1.vol" (is Walter allowing wild characters? and still have a selection to make.
or how about "memo sr to RM re bar fine So what I'm saying is that I don't always have a file name which is a part of a subset which diminishes as you type one more letter.
I think it is more useful to Anyone else besides Micheal agree? Maybe Jim?
