The ISPELL command is a Unix spell-checker that will check your notes/description/OLC stuff and return correct spellings for the word(s) you
have mistyped. Like any spellchecker, it is far from perfect, and while you
may have typed a word correctly, it doesn't know the grammatical difference in some cases their, there).
There are two ways to check a word for its proper spelling:
1) At your prompt, type ISPELL <word>. This will check the one word and
tell you whether it is correct, or else give you a list of words that might be correct.
2) When in the editor, type .i <string). This will check the string you put
in the editor, and tell you which words are misspelled. You can then use .r
to replace the words that need to be.
