checking spelling while editing
I always wanted a way to check the spelling of the words in my
file while editing.  I wrote a shell script to do it:
-----
# aspell - add misspelled words to end between <<<<< AND>>>>>
tee /tmp/aspell$$
echo "<<<<<"   /TMP/ASPELL$$ ECHO SPELL>>>>>"
rm /tmp/aspell$$
-----
In vi, 1G!Gaspell will put mispelled words at the end of your
document.  If it destroys your document, you can always hit u, of
course (I can think of no reason it would, but I always fear blowing
away my text when I do !'s).  You can use this on any part of your
text, but 1G!G is the best idea.
