Nope! Spellchecking is checking EVERY word and is returning a string with
the actual word. Higlighting is only done if a word is misspelled.
F&R does the above but returns only true if the word was found and false
if the word was not found. On true the word is selected.
Anyway this needs cleanup in 1.3.0 I won't spend time on this other then
fixing serious bugs!

Now there's a violent movie titled, "The Croquet Homicide," or "Murder
With Mallets Aforethought."
