Well, this was an interesting exercise! It seems that the spell check  
only works when certain environments and commands are used. For  
example, the spell check works fine when the \begin{document} and  
\end{document} commands are present. It also works when the  
\section{...} and \chapter{...} commands are present. However, it does  
not work when there is, for example, only \begin{theorem} or  
\end{theorem} commands present. I use a lot of \include and \input  
commands in my tex documents, so, naturally, many files will not have  
\section, \chapter, or \begin{document}...\end{document} commands.  
I've attached two minimal sample tex files to this email. The first  
tex file illistrates a situations where the spell check *does not*  
work. The second illustrates a situation where the spell check *does*  
work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
