Where's the FAQ? - I need an answer that's probably in it.

How does one pipe text through an external filter (formatter,
spell-checker, etc.) from within vi, and (hopefully) have the
process text object replace the text object currently on the 
screen?

You'd think after all these years I'd know this one! *grin*
