Re: checking spelling while editing
This is a nice editor script. You can improve it even more by
adding \ around the word being searched for in the
def of #1. (Instead of inserting / at the beginning, insert /\ at the end.) This will cause it to find
only true words and not pieces of bigger words.
There is also a shell script called Spell which is an interactive
front end for spell. I find Spell useful when working on a big
document because it can handle multiple files and a local exception
list.
Note of course that setting EXINIT as recommended will wipe out any
existing EXINIT, or if you use an exrc file, cause that file to be
ignored. If you have one you should appropriately fix them instead.
