  Hello.  A few years ago there was a posting of some lines that
could be placed in an 'exrc file to interface with spell(1).  One function
key took all the editor buffer, piped it to spell, and appended the
output.  A second function key cycled through these words one at a time
and loaded the search buffer.  Your could then find and correct the
bad words easily.

  I've lost this.  Does anyone still have this... or a better spell-
checker interface for vi?

  Thanks...
