Spell checking in Rev apps?

[Thomas McGrath III]

Scott,

I found it. It was creating the folder and file but not writing to  
the file. And it was saving the learned words in the global  
gCustomDictionary in the substack across saves.

I added the writecustomdictionary on the close stack of the  
spellchecker and then it saved it to the file customDict.txt


Very cool. I am learning a lot from this.

Thank you for posting.

Tom
