Ok, after much fidgeting and messing around and hitting my head against the wall, I figured out that you have to move 3 files to the PiDirect directory. Here they are:
SpellSmith.prc
spelldata.pdb or something like that
and
thesdata.pdb
that got it working.
This reply is to help those who might look for this answer in the future.

I finally decided to try this since the new version of WordSmith is out. The SpellChecker is much faster and I decided to keep it, I just really did not want it in RAM. So, I began investigating how to make this work.
I am using a Sony CLIE 760, so I have VFS Support. I went out and downloaded PiDirectVFS and Filez. Filez is freeware and a great FileManager program for PalmOS.
I created a directory on my MemoryStick called /Palm/PiDirect.
I used Filez to move SpellSmith.prc, SpellData.pdb, and ThesData.pdb into the above directory.
Under PiDirect | Preferences you must UnCheck "Set card database as read-only". This step is very important. If you do not do this, SpellCheck will function, but every single word will show up when you run it.
Obviously, PiDirect must be enabled for this to work, but it does work. Both the Dictionary and Thes. work fine.
I would think that you could accomplish the same thing with a Visor running OS3.5, but you have to have PiDirect for Visors.
If you are using a Visor with OS3.1, you could probably use PiVFSMgr to simulate VFS on those devices and then install PiDirectVFS with it. I have not personally tried the combination of the two, but I have used PiVFSMgr on my Deluxe and it worked fine, just really slow.
