See Greg.  I told you that I wasn't the smartest guy on the block and
you easily proved.  I could have sworn that I did a "sudo apt-get
install spell" a few days ago and it came back with a not/found message.

I just tried it and it worked.  Go figure.

My whole hearty thanks.  And I apologize for the down and out attitude
that I demonstrated.  I love Linux with all my heart and sole and will
use it til the day they take my cold dead hands off the keyboard.

ciao dude,
