This is what I use... It came from ccvaxa!bobvan, I believe.
1) In a directory in your search path, place the following file "vispell":
tee /tmp/vis$$
echo SpellingList
spell /tmp/vis$$
rm /tmp/vis$$
2) In your .exrc or EXINIT place the following macros. "^[" stands for escape
in the macro at that point. Remember that you'll need to prefix the
escape with a control-V so that it doesn't prematurely terminate the
map command. These macros clobber buffer z.
map #1 GI/\<^[A\>^["zdd@z
map #2 1G!Gvispell^[
To use --
a) edit your submission/file...
b) hit #2 (or function key 2 if your terminal has it)
c) a list of misspelled words is tacked on to the end of your file
d) to eliminate valid words, such as "stevea" & "ARPAnet", go to the
end of the file, and back up, deleting valid words as you go.
d) hit #1 (function key 1) to go to the first occurrence of that word.
e) correct it if necessary -- if you think you may have misspelled it
twice, hit "/" to find the next occurrence, etc.
f) hit #1 until you are searching for "SpellingList" - this means
you have corrected all of the words in the list...
g) rejoice in your 99% error-free article
Hope this helps...

One way to run 'spell' on your current edit file is to use the 'ex' command :%!spell which replaces your edit file with the 'spell' output. After you have examined the list of misspelled words, use the 'undo' command to retrieve the original file. -- Dave Seaman ..!pur-ee!pucc-k:ags

I have the following alias in my .login file:
alias Spell "spell \!^ >> \!^; vi + \!^"
Now, typeing "Spell filename" appends the output of spell to the end of
"filename". Next vi is run starting at the bottom of the list of "misspelled"
words. You can use string searches or globals to fix the misspellings.
