How do I install the English, rather than the USA-English dictionary ?

You have the British English dictionary already in your program
directory.

To enable it copy the following and paste it in a new message in
Eudora:

<X-Eudora-Option:MainLexFiles=british.tlx,british.clx>

Alt-click the link and click OK in the "Change Option" window that
appears.

Ajo,
I get no spelling corrections at all if I do that. I've also tried adding
the line directly to the Eurora.ini file with just the same result.
Something odd going on because it works on one of my machines but not the
other.

See whether those files are actually in the programs directory,
on each computer (same or different versions of Eudora?)

is identical to the corresponding file supplied with

Windows text file "british.tlx" unzipped from the location above
differs from the otherwise identical file supplied with

in that all of the latter contain
a single addtional word: email

Enough, enough!

Is it possible that the machine on which it doesn't work is in Light
Mode? There's no spell checking in that mode
