The perfect answer to your request for a TeX spell checker for
Macintosh is Excalibur 1.2, a *freeware* (although not public domain)
application that fullfills all your needs.  In particular, it knows
about the TeX and LaTeX syntax and does not complain on every
\command...

You can get it by anonymous FTP from sumex-aim.stanford.edu
[36.44.0.6], file /info-mac/app/excalibur-12.hqx, size 402883, or from
mac.archive.umich.edu [141.211.165.41], file
/mac/misc/tex/excalibur1.2.sit.hqx, size 370664 (don't ask me why
they're not the same size, but they have the same date).

Both servers are also accessible by e-mail, however I could not find
how to do it for sumex-aim.  For help via e-mail from umich, send the
command "help" in the letter text (not in the subject line) to
"mac@mac.archive.umich.edu".

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
