Slightly off-topic: Just as Wolfgang's reply came in I was setting up a  
new version of

http://tinyspell.com/

Editor-based spell-checkers are usually not very useful (although some  
LaTeX-centric editors are pretty good at it.) I never knew about  
\setupspellchecking before now. Perhaps it could evolve into something  
very useful.

Part of spell-checking involves getting uppercase vs lowercase right. I  
see that the .words output of \setupspellchecking ignores case, and treats  
'-' (the simple dash) as a word separator. I'd like to see this evolve  
into something more precise.

I get *some* words shorter than four letters in the output, so there must  
be some other logic going on...

Thanks for pointing out this utility, Wolfgang, and

Best wishes
Idris
