I'm planning on interfacing XEDIT with the Unix spell command, marking
up a document to point out misspelled words somehow, supporting
removal of one or all marks, adding words to a local dictionary, etc.
I suppose I can do all this with a few REXX macros.

I was wondering how this has been done in the past with other editors
like vi or emacs.  For example, how do you mark the misspelled word
to facilitate the other operations I mentioned above?

Please reply via email, I'll summarize and post, as well as post 
whatever I decide to do.
