   novice question ... where can i find a dict. and spell checker for
   freemacs? 
EMACSPEL.ARC, which is available from all the usual places.

   novice question 2 ... is there a thesaurus?
No, but it'd be neat to have...

   novice question 3 ... if they do exist, how does one go about
   installing them?
SPELLER (contained in EMACSPEL) is a general purpose spelling checker
engine that goes TSR when you run it.  It responds to requests made to
interrupt 0x82.  Freemacs has a primitive #(sc,...) that generates
requests and returns the value.  So you can implement ispell for
Freemacs, and I'm waiting for someone (else) to do so... :-)
Right now, spell-word is the only spelling checker implemented.
