Here is something I hacked together as soon as I got VLT v5.517:

The following VLT script placed into a mouse command can allow
one to spell check words directly on the VLT screen!  You must
have VLT v5.517 (or later).

1. Go into 'function key/menu' 'program mode'.
2. Select the 'Operations/Mouse Support...' menu item.
3. Select an 'Mouse select-down command' to bind the spell function
   to [I use shift-ctrl].  Delete the current contents with 'right amiga-X'.
4. Place the following, ignoring extra whitespace at the start of
   lines and the line breaks, into the box:

   ~rx ("move %X %Y"; "extr reviewlineatcursor";
   "move %x %y"; s = " "vlt.reviewlineatcursor" ";
   a = lastpos(" ",s,%X+1); b = pos(" ",s,%X+1);
   "move "a b-1 %Y %Y;
   address command "spellcheckword" substr(s,a,b-a) "VLT")

   [hope you have a snapper. :-]

5. Turn 'off' 'program mode'.
6. Copy interfaces/shell/spellcheckword.rexx into rexx:

This interface requires that GUISpell be installed.
