   Isn't that a bit to complicated for such a simple script? Just copy   
   spell.bat together with spell.txt in any directory you like. Then put   
   a link to spell.bat on the desktop (drag it with the  key pressed   
   to the desktop). In the property of the link you can select the font and,   
   much more important, the font size you prefer.
