- Of course, Tom's solution is the best I've seen using standardly availably
- utilities...but we have ispell (interactive spell) installed here that I
- like to use.

- My macro goes like:
- map \s :w! /tmp/spl%^M:!ispell /tmp/spl%^M:%!cat /tmp/spl%^M:!rm /tmp/spl%^M^M
-

- Still possible for name collision, etc... (i.e. far from perfect), but I
- like it. I've forgotten, though, the character for a macro that says "Eat
- the next pause" for the "Press Return to Continue" prompt. I've seen it
- before, and heard that it is better that just sending an extra <cr>, but
- none of the manuals/docs have it, and I didn't see it in any of the macro
- files on the vi archive...anyone know/remember?
