I finally have gotten so sick of typo's that I want to run spell while in
vi, without exiting or suspending, the file.   So I wrote a small script (sp).
It takes the input from vi (:1,$!sp) and redirects it to a file, I run
spell on the file, pulling up a window (Sun) displaying the output from spell.
The window waits for a <CR> and then exits.  Well that works just fine EXCEPT 
that I can't continue with vi until I exit the window, probably waiting for 
the !sp to finish.

There has to be a way to do what I want but I haven't been able to figure 
it out, any ideas???????

Thanks for your help.
