1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
I am working on a script to create a spell check assignment. I have the code written , but it is not working. To help me understand more, it would help if someone gave me the logic for this statement:
check=(`aspell list -p ~/.checked < $1`)

What exactly is this doing? Mostly, what is being put into check and what is < $1 putting into what is on the right of it? Is it suppose to be ` around whats in the parantheses? Thanks you in advance if someone can help.

2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:



3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
I believe that the words that aspell does not find in its dictionary is what is stored in in check, but I am not sure.

Northern Illinois, DeKalb, US, Mr. Ege 330
