Ah, you're a sanity saver Rob! This works pretty well, but I'm having
trouble because in the aspell_read routine I can collect the lines that
return showing an error into an array or a list, and I can parse the lines
as they come, however, there are a few problems:

Firstly I am trying to pop open a modal window that will show a list of the
suggested words, and give options to replace etc. However, I cant seem to
work out where to put the code for this, because if I show the modal window
during the aspell_read routine everything else is finished by the time I
return to it. This means I only get a chance to change one error word.

Secondly, the program never quits properly, so something is hanging on when
I exit, and I'm not sure what. Presumably I need to close the link with
aspell when the spelling routine has finished, but I'm unsure how to do
this.

Many thanks for your help so far. I'm so close to getting this working that
I can almost taste it!

Regards

Max
