spell checking files in lynx?

Hi all,
I have access to an editor, and its spell checker for those moments when I 
am say sending a comment, or completing a form or text box in Lynx.
What I am wondering though is how, or if, that can work with a file?
For example I open Lynx by typing
lynx draftfile.txt
Which presents the file referenced for me to read.
Can I access the editor chosen for lynx using a specific command?
Thanks,
Karen
