I'm not sure if the debugger is the same as MASM's CV, but I know that with 
the CV debugger for MASM, it acts like a wrapper around the program in 
question, so whatever stdin or stout expected by the program would be 
intercepted and sent thru CV first, so the above would be:

more sample.txt | CV aspell6 pipe.

Note: the "more" command would also be expecting keyboard input which messes 
things up for you, so you may want to reduce it to:

CV aspell6 pipe <sample.txt

Hopefully the info is helpful if not quite the right "debugger" answer.

If the debugger is built-in to the compiler IDE, you may want to set 
breakpoints in your program while using something like this as your 
command-line

aspell pipe <sample.txt
