1.) Download and install CocoASpell.

Download and expand cocoAspell folder. You will need StuffIt Expander to decompress the files.
Put cocoAspell.service into the "/Library/Services" folder. If the "Services" subfolder does not exist, create it first.
Put Spelling.prefPane into the "/Library/PreferencePanes" folder. If the "PreferencePanes" subfolder does not exist, create it first.
If the System Preferences application is open, quit it.
Open the System Preferences application, select the Spelling preference panel and enable the dictionaries you need.
Logout and login back into your system.

2.) Download the WBOSS script

and execute the following at a root prompt:

mv spell.txt spell.pl
mv spell.pl /var/CommuniGate/cgi-bin (or whatever the path to your "cgi-bin" folder is)
chmod 755 spell.pl
pico spell.pl

$path = '/Library/Services/cocoAspell.service/Contents/MacOS/cocoAspell';

3.) Configuring compose.wssp

In compose.wssp make the following changes:

Add the text that is in bold:
<BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff" LINK="#330099 ALINK="#330099" VLINK="#330099" onLoad="document.mail.Body.focus()"> <FORM action="Compose.wssp" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="mail">

Add your SpellCheck button somewhere on your compose page...location is up to you:

<input type="button" name="SpellCheck" value="SpellCheck" onclick="sendtext()">

Near the bottom of compose.wssp html between the lines:</FORM>and
</BODY>

Insert the following: (You should first copy this into a plain text editor, otherwise the html will be scrambled)


<form id="spell" name="spell">
   <script>
   function sendtext() {
   var semi = new RegExp("\;","g");
   document.send.checkme.value = (document.mail.Body.value.replace(semi,"\;"));
   document.send.form.value = "mail";
   document.send.field.value = "Body";
   window.open('','SpellChecker','width=480,height=360,top=150,left=150,scrollbars=1,location=true');
   document.send.submit();
   }
   </script>
   </form>
   <form id="send" name="send" action="/cgi-bin/spell.pl" method="POST" target="SpellChecker">
   <input type="hidden" id="checkme" name="checkme" value="">
   <input type="hidden" id="form" name="form" value="">
   <input type="hidden" id="field" name="field" value="">
   <input type="hidden" id="spell" name="spell" value="check">
   </form>

Conclusion

After the previous steps have been completed, log in and flush the web skins cache for the all domain names. Log in and try out your new spell checker, if all has gone as planned, everything should work perfectly.
