[OS X TeX] Spell Check in TeXShop?

[Rolf Schmolling]

Hello!

I am using TexShop (2.09b) together with cocoAspell on an iBook  
800Mhz/640Ram (10.4.5) and it works reasonably fast. Via context-menu  
one can add to a personal dictionary; it catches latex-syntax  
reasonably well even German umlauts " "u" etc.. The only caveat I  
have is that it's awkward to use when there are several different  
languages within the text. I think that is a limitation of the built- 
in OSX spellchecker as well. If anybody knows a way around this, I'd  
be most grateful!


Greetings,
Rolf Schmolling
