Ed has a standard available for his problem, in the TARS magazine Despatches. Any deviation from that in the AR books can be assumed to be a misprint.
I had assumed 'dispatch' was an American spelling. Certainly Ed, as an old IBM hand, would know that software control programs contained a 'Dispatcher', and we in the UK never tried to spell that any other way.
