Vi query

Change it to:

alias sp 'spell \!* | tee /tmp/new$$ >> \!* ;\
		mv tags /tmp/old$$;\
		sed 's/^\(.*\)/\1	?\1?/' > tags;\
		rm /tmp/new$$;\
		vi + \!*\
		mv /tmp/old$$ tags'

Use the 'tag' command '^]', which uses the current word as a tag. Then, viola!
You have it. Thank you very much for showing *me* a great new application!
