Summary: A better way w/o 4BSD-isms

The following is a better way for ex/vi users to run 'spell' on
their messages without requiring any of those blatant 4BSD-isms,
such as ^Z and fg %n.

:w		to write the file
:!spell %	to run the spell program on that file

If ex objects to the extra ':'s, omit them.  Heck, omit them in
ex anyway: you just need them for vi.

If you are running vi, and want to get the output at the end of
your file instead of on screen and then on paper and then back
into your file, you can:

:w		to write the file
G		to go to the end of the file
o<ESC>		to open a new, empty line
!!spell %	to run the spell program with output to the line

Spell output from this article:

I don't think I'll change it, though.	;-)
