I got the ispell.el file, put it in the /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ directory, opened emacs and compiled it with the byte-compile-file command. It seemed to compile okay, but emacs won't load it. If I use the locate-library command, I get the response "Library is file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ispell.elc." However, if I try to load it with the load-library command, I get the message "Searching for program: no such file or directory, ispell." My setup is an iMac G4 with OSX. -- Alan Stein a.stein@snet.net How long will we pretend Yasser Arafat isn't a terrorist?
