[TxMt] Re: Spelling in comments

[Nigel Green]

You can change the "Spell Checking: Disable for Source" value to 1 in  
the Source bundle to turn spellchecking on for comments. Click on  
'Bundles->Bundle Editor->SHow Bundle Editor' and highlight the Source  
bundle in the list - the one you need is a preferences option in this  
bundle.

I've tested this with comments in PHP and it picks them up if the  
value is set to '1' but doesn't when set to '0'.
