I tested the SPELL program and was able to duplicate the error described:

When asked about the possible misspelling of a word, I deleted it by
backspacing over it.  The program quit, and the portion of the file
right before the deleted word was erased.

I've looked at the source code, and have found the problem - the 
program thinks that it's done when an empty string is returned by
one of the procedures.  I'll fix it tonight and redistribute the
source and uuencoded executable this evening.

Thanks for pointing out the problem!
