Hey Leonardo,
Thanks very much for your suggestion of Gvim. Sounds like it may fit our
needs really well. We'll definitely try it out. :)

I had written earlier to the Leafpad developer to ask about creating an
Aspell plugin; he seemed to think that this would be more suited in more
feature-rich text editors and Leafpad was meant to be just kept very
light and simple. 

But Gvim sounds great.
