I will try again to give more information on what Iam looking for? I need to find some way to make sentences from a group of words. Have a list of Approximately 750 words that come from a name of typing program(Do Tesa Nilp) that we have developed, for just useing the numeric keypap with one hand. Trying to develop a typing tutorial from the above word list! If anyone can help me find a site or person (programmer) that can take a group of words and make a sentence from them,any help! would be appreciated.

so what you're looking for is a program(or willing person) that would take a random list of words and generate grammatically correct sentences. is that the idea? hmmm...

If this is your idea Henry (greetings, btw ) then what you want is one of the AI parsing programs. You provide a lexicon of words, and either the program contains a grammar or you define that separately. We produced such programs as part of my AI course many moons ago.

A quick Google found a general-purpose set of LISP language programs (including a Sentence Generator) at:
http://www.norvig.com/paip/README.html
Only issue with this is that you would also need to obtain a LISP compiler/interpreter, although there are links for that available here as well.

Alternatively (and maybe preferably), I found a Javascript random sentence generator at:
http://www.intersrv.com/~dcross/sentence.html
(mild amusement for all here, folks!)
Instructions for using this for your own purposes can be found at:
http://www.intersrv.com/~dcross/sentence_help.txt

Hope this helps.

Henry sent me a PM indicating that is what he's looking for; I knew someone would have an idea.

that is what he's looking for

Delighted to be of service!

Here's a good general reference point for "AI" sentence generation and parsing that I found through the Open Directory (http://www.dmoz.org) that backs up most big Search Engines:

Click on "Systems and Software" (left-hand menu) then "Downloadable Systems/Software" (main page) for loads of goodies.
