-> documentation

reporter, Netscape is planning a major overhaul of the Help files,
so you might want to wait until that happens.

Comment 2

[Daniel Wang]

reference to spelling checking removed in latest help file overhaul.
Not sure if we need to explain "confirm when using keyboard shortcut to send
message"

-> worksforme ?

Comment 3

[Jim Salter]

If the overhaul has been done, then go ahead and resolve this as fixed.  It 
was certainly a problem when I reported it so it can't be "worksforme".
