I have a copy of T/S Spell, and the Ved word processor. The two work very
well together. I even wrote a little macro under Ved that allows me, with
a simple keystroke combination from within Ved, to perform a spellcheck
using T/S Spell on the document I'm currently working on in Ved. Pretty
slick. I like T/S Spell. Very useful, though it's a little slow when used
in a graphics window.
