I don't know. I wonder if MS Windows provides a spellcheck engine at
all? Maybe someone has a Windows API guide handy to look and see?
Anyway I'm not aware of any way to configure global spell checking under
Windows.
KDE4WIN? Funny, but now that you mention it, I think maybe there was a
time when the Windows Program Manager was a shell that you could replace
with other GUI shells. Boy, that's a faint trace of a memory, probably
a misfiring neuron.
