I've used a few things that did have spell checking. (One had a spell check button on certain text fields in its forms, kinda neat.) My favorite text and source editor, Ultraedit, has a pretty good spell checker and it can be expanded to handle reserved words. I don't think it handles mixed case (or case at all) though. I've never used it except to check comments or display text. -Wm
