how to spell check in vim?

[epash...@sprint.ca]

hello;
sorry to ask such primitive question.
i have been doing spell check after writing the buffer to a file by shell
executing of the ispell. i am woundering if there is a way to spell check
the buffer i am working before saving it. i have gone through the help file
tutorial but no mention of spell check in vim.
apriciate any pointer to where i could find about this and some other
commands. as you could tell i am new to vim. so go easy on me.

thank in advance for any reply.

I'm sure I saw better ways to do spell checking than what I'm about to
suggest, I just can not remember them :-) You might want to look at
<http://www.vim.org> where there might be some suggestions. Anyway,
here is how I do spell checking usng ispell

map S :w<C-M>:!ispell %<C-M>:e!<C-M><C-M>

I do not use the normal S command, remapping it to my spell checker is
not a problem for me. If you prefer some other mapping, then by all
means us something else.

I use this because it is very similar to something I had in my vi .exrc
file, and I got this from one of the vi related web sites.

map S :w^V^M:!ispell % ^V^M:e!^V^M^V^M

Check out

http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=195

for <engspchk.vim> which does spell-checking via vim's own
syntax highlighting.
