That's not spell-check but "ispell-complete-word". By the way, I never use spell checking. Didn't know about this key binding either. Really strange that ispell-complete-word works but not any other ispell command does. > So ispell is installed? > Can I get it to work? Since I don't have access to any Apple system I can't tell. Try to find out if you have ispell installed. There are many UNIX utilities that should be standard and be available anywhere but the reality is that they aren't. > Fifteen to twenty years ago, would charge forward typing text making > many typo's and let ispell sort it all out. > Miss it terribly - help appreciated. > > PS - does it make more sense to install a full unix? > Miss GnuPlot, xfig, the GIMP, etc. That is, like many matters in life, a question of taste or likings.
