VI & spell

I finally have gotten so sick of typo's that I want to run spell while in
vi, without exiting or suspending, the file. So I wrote a small script (sp).
It takes the input from vi (:1,$!sp) and redirects it to a file, I run
spell on the file, pulling up a window (Sun) displaying the output from spell.
The window waits for a <CR> and then exits. Well that works just fine EXCEPT
that I can't continue with vi until I exit the window, probably waiting for
the !sp to finish.
There has to be a way to do what I want but I haven't been able to figure
it out, any ideas???????
Thanks for your help.
