Place the following 5 lines in a file "vispell" and place the file in some
system bin area

#! /bin/sh
tee /tmp/vis$$
echo SpellingList
spell /tmp/vis$$
rm /tmp/vis$$

Then add the following two lines to you .exrc file.

map #1 Gi/\<A\>"add@a
map #2 1G!Gvispell

Where #1 #2 are your function keys.  (Note you can pick any suitable keys
for this.)   Then when in vi merely strike the #2 key and the current
contents of you buffer will be sent to spell.  The output of spell will
then be appended to the current vi buffer.  Now type #1.  This will delete
the last line in the buffer and then search for that line in the file.  Since
the last line is a word that spell felt was wrong you will be searching for
that misspelled word.  When you have used up the output from spell the 
search pattern fails.  This worked fine under 4.1 but I seem to have a
minor problem under 4.2 I get an extraneous error message at the top of
the file.  "ioctl: Operation not supported on socket"  You figure that 
one out (i'm lazy!).  It works just fine after a dd to remove the error
message.
