Every DTP, Word Processor, and now even DA's are coming with a spelling
dictionary.  I have over 6 meg of disk space taken up because of various
spelling checkers.  Any additional words I want to add has to be added to
each dictionary separately.

It would be nice if System7 had a Spelling Manager with a standard dictionary
and the ability to add specialized dictionaries (Engineering, Medical, etc.).

All appropriate spellcheck toolbox calls would be included for adding, deleting,
and checking strings, TE Handles ettc.

Wouldn't it be nice to have just one system wide dictionary?  Thunder is all
I use now but it shouldn't be necessary for software vendors to provide
individual dictionaries.
