Thanks, Tim. Especially for the first two items. 

I used the second to turn spell on for txt files only, but it's checking my 
.vimrc. I especially don't want that.

Checking the help on spell, one of the comments was that it loads the entire 
dictionary, apparently a large file, into memory, and that it can slow things 
down. I don't work with very big files. Max would be 15 to 20 pages of plain 
text. I assume having spell on all the time is not going to be a problem for 
me. [I have two Gb of RAM.]
