"I still wish this had the use of the delete button and a spell check. I would even pay real money for this."

Darn. I *knew* I should have released a pay version. ;)

With 1.2, you can now move the mouse to the top of the screen, go to the Preferences menu item, and turn the option to have "more modern text editing features." It'll take effect right away.

(You can't use the standard command-, shortcut to reach the preferences because I figured that might be more inclined to be (mis)used when you should just be writing away.)

The Spelling menu is still in a hidden menu, but if you enable the more modern text editing features you can use the standard command-: and command-; to go to the next possibly misspelled word.
