I downloaded ISpEnFrGe.exe from http://www.luziusschneider.com/Speller/English/. I installed it, and pointed emacs to the ipell file using (setq ispell-program-name "D:\\emacs-21.2\\lisp\\textmodes\\ispell.exe") When I try to spell check I get the message "Can't open c:\usr\local\lib\english.hash". I could create this directory structure and copy this hash file to it, but why is it not looking in the directory I pointed it to? After all, it did find ispell.exe. charles
