This does nothing at all.  There's nothing in the minibuffer, no error 
message, the cursor does nothing... it's as if I never entered the 
command.  

However, since posting this I discovered that, if I run "M-x
ispell-word", that seems to do what I want, i.e., checks the spelling, 
offers alternatives in another window, and allows me to correct the 
mispelled word or add it to the existing dictionary.  Is this the way 
it's supposed to work?  If so, it's counter-intuitive.
