SPELL

 Runs DECspell (if installed on your system) to check the spelling in a
 selection or in the entire buffer.

 Steps:

    1.  Optionally, select the text you want to check.

    2.  Use SPELL (or with the WPS keypad, press GOLD-S).

    3.  Use DECspell commands to correct your text.  After you make the
        corrections, exiting from DECspell resumes the editing session.

 Usage notes:

 o  SPELL spawns a subprocess to run DECspell and writes out the selection
    or the current buffer to a temporary file in SYS$SCRATCH (which is
    usually your top-level, login directory).

 o  Exiting from DECspell replaces the selection or buffer with the new
    version of the temporary file, containing any corrections, and then
    deletes the temporary file.

 o  If you select less than a full line, SPELL extends the select range to
    include the start and end of the line.  If you do NOT select any text,
    SPELL checks the entire buffer.

 o  You cannot use SPELL with the DECwindows interface.

 o  Do NOT use CTRL/Y while using SPELL.  This deletes lines in the
    temporary file and destroys the current buffer or selection.
