Hello.

I have uploaded three minor yet cool and handy additions for Smile.


1. askpassword
Installs a new command "askpassword", which makes like "display dialog "blah" default answer """ except that it displays bullets in the input field.

---------------------
set thePW to askpassword("Please enter your password:")
---------------------


2. playsound
Installs a new command "playsound", which makes like "beep" except you can have it play any QT sound. Handy, e.g. to notify end of execution of a long task.

---------------------
playsound("Glass")
---------------------


3. Spell checker
Based on, and includes, the scripting addition "XSpell.osax" by JB Le Stang.

Installs a new menu item "Check spelling", keyboard shortcut cmd-; which checks the spelling in the front window. Features a user dictionary. Productive writers will appreciate a particularly zen interface.

Enjoy!
