Regardless of whether you have Aspell installed, you should get spell  
checking using the built-in spell checker. The easiest way to get  
this on a per-application basis is to right-click (ctrl-click) when  
editing text, and choose "check spelling as you type".

How did you install Aspell? Did you install cocoASpell? This  
integrates with OS X and will create a preference pane in your system  
preferences which you can use to select one of the Aspell  
dictionaries. I have selected all three of the "English (United  
States) dictionaries." I don't know what the differences are, though.

I don't know how to get the OS to check spelling using Aspell  
dictionaries installed by Fink or DarwinPorts or some other method; I  
am sure someone on the list does know though . . .
