    I think I see the problem.  In $VIMRUNTIME/autoload/netrw.vim , in
the function netrw#DirBrowse() , there are the lines
 if &fo =~ '[ta]'
  set fo-=t
  set fo-=a
  echohl Warning
  echo '***warning*** directory browsing and formatoptions "ta" are 
incompatible'
  echohl None
 endif

(I am not sure that I ever get to see that warning message.)  I think
that replacing :set with :setlocal will fix the problem.  Remember, when
dealing with a local option, :set changes both the local value and the
global default; :setlocal changes only the value...

I think it should be

        :let &l:spell = ...
 

Actually, I don't want to use local settings; just obstinate, I guess!  
What netrw v102h does
(and its available at my website, 
http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#VimFuncs
as "Network Oriented Reading, Writing, and Browsing) is save global 
settings, make them
netrw-friendly, do the browsing thing, restore the settings.
