| Nice!
Out of curiosity: how did you implement the spell checking? Are you using something like aspell or ispell? (I'd take a look but sadly, my SAM is defunct at the moment.)

I thought about using ISpell, but did not want to make the user go install another package. Maybe I should have the program test for the existance of ISpell and send ARexx commands to it instead of loading its own spell checking.
What I did was pretty simple. I created a plain text file off all the words generated by the medium size english (american) base file + the affix file (which it turns out can also be found on the web as well), and my hash table code module. If the user turns on Spell Checking, an in-memory hash table is created by reading in the big text file (and the User text file). I thought about writing out a prebuilt copy of that hash table, but on my Sam 440 flex and AOne, it takes only about 5 secs to read it in from text and make the table.
Added a few Amiga specific terms to the main wordlist text file, and
a little code to avoid spell checking the AmigaGuide commands.
Memory hungry (20 MB), but really pretty fast.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
