 Hello,

 There are newsreader-independent spell checkers built  into editors.  Like
 you, I am very careful about typos and errors. When I  am not sure about a
 word, I use emacs built-in function called  spell-word called up by ESC-$.
 You can  also use spell-region   function to check  the entire  region for
 stupid typos.

 To set up emacs, find out where  it is. which  emacs" Then put these lines
 in one of your start up files:

 setenv VISUAL  "/usr/local/gnu/bin/emacs -nw"
 setenv EDITOR  "/usr/local/gnu/bin/emacs -nw"
 set editmode=emacs
 
 That  is assuming you  use  tcsh.  The  next time you  run  tin and use an
 editor, it will be emacs.  I love  emacs and use  it for everything. It is
 very simple. No offense, but it is not the  most appropriate newsgroup for
 this issue.  comp.editors is far  better.  Read the  man  page on  it,  or
 contact me for further information.

 Respectfully,
