Help!
  My spelling is really pretty poor, and I would like to have an
on-line spelling checker on my side in the war against typos. The
environment I want to use is the vt-52 (or st-52) terminal emulator
desk accessory. I am using my 520ST (1 Meg, TOS in ROM, 2 SS drives,
Monochrome) as a very nice, and intelligent terminal to a Vax 11/780
running 4.3BSD. I use vi on the vax and would like to have something
on the atari that checks my spelling in real time.
  I have looked at Thunder (copyright by someone) and I am not sure
if it is capable of being used with the terminal emulator desk
accessory. I have looked at hippospell and I don't think that it
is a real time spelling checker. I really have to have it real-time
and while using the terminal emulator.
  Please! anyone! with any ideas, or personal experience with
Thunder or the like, let me know.

		Any response is greatly appreciated!
			Thanks,
			Bob
