[wplug] embarrasing question......Terminating Input from stdin

[William Powell]

Thank you.  Turns out I hadn't forgotten after all, it just isn't
working in the case that I cited.  spell simply returns the same
spelling of the word that I typed.

ah-HA!!!

ispell and aspell accept input from stdin when piped with the -a flag as
follows:

aspell -a  <&0 {enter}
