Boy this is a tough one. Spell Checking is a system service built into
the Cocoa text services. It's not something that you can turn on and
off. You could use something like VI in the terminal but what a pain!
I am experimenting with removing the spelling checking options from an
editor.
Now let me add this. I don't know what the nature of the disability is
here, but as a dyslexic the prospect of sitting for an exam with out a
spelling checker on my computer would be a nauseating idea.
Please contact me directly either by email or phone and I'll see what
I can do for you.

Hi everyone
This is an odd question I guess, however I have a student with a
disability sitting the HSC (Yr12 Final Exams). Its not enough to
turn off spell and grammar check.. I need to disable so he can't
simply turn back on.
I've only just been given the problem and need to solve before
tomorrow so thought I'd turn to you clever people!
Oh, he is using an iBook with Word and of course text edit...
thanks heaps!
Jeanette
