To steve and anyone else interested in running spell from VI.

I didn't find this in any VI documentation so I can't guarantee that
it will work for all VIs but it does with mine so here it is.

It is simply to write the vi temp buffer to spell rather than to a file.

therefore   :w !spell    will run the text in the buffer through spell.

One minor problem is that the command must be simple: ie. you cannot
use pipes to get page control.   :w !spell | more   will not work.
