Spell checkers

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

I would add, that while Hugh's stack is functional, it need a few more 
features: what is needed is not only identify that a given word does 
not exist in the main or user dictionary, but... also

a) give the user a list of choices beginning with the same initial 
letter(s)
b) let him choose one of those and click on one from the choice list
c) allow for the option to enter the word correctly spelled.
c) fix the mis-spelled word in the original text field by clicking 
"replace all"

I think I could probably get my head around doing this myself using 
Hugh's stacks as a starting point, but didn't want to go there yet if 
someone else had already done this.

alternatively we could ask Mac users to get Cassidy and Green excellent 
"SpellCatcher"  but then I don't have control over the user dictionary 
and don't know of a comparable system wide option like that on Windows 
machines... So I may have to roll my own chapati here.
