I have the following problem with Emacs and Aspell (I have a RedHat
7.1):
i installed the Italian dictionary in the right directory, the one
which contains the other dictionaries, but Emacs 20 can't see the
dictionary.
When I issue the command M-x ispell-change-dictionary i can't find
the
italian dictionary in the list of dictionaries, but in the list
there are a lot of dictionaries that are not really installed.
So, i guess, the problem must be that i have to tell Emacs that the
italian dictionary is installed (and, perhaps, where it is intalled),
but i don't know how to do it.
Should i change the value of the ispell-dictionary-alist variable?
How can i do it?
Please help me to solve this big problem so i can spellcheck my text
files. Thank you.

There's no dictionary called "italiano"? It _is_ there in Emacs 21 (but
it might be missing in Emacs 20).

Yes.

Do `M-x customize-option RET ispell-dictionary-alist'. Add a new
entry -- this is the setting used for Italian in Emacs 21:
Dictionary: Value Menu Dictionary name: italiano
Case characters: [A-ZÀÁÈÉÌÍÒÓÙÚa-zàáèéìíóùú]
Non case characters: [^A-ZÀÁÈÉÌÍÒÓÙÚa-zàáèéìíóùú]
Other characters: [-]
Many other characters: Toggle off (nil)
Ispell command line args:
INS DEL Arg: -B
INS DEL Arg: -d
INS DEL Arg: italian
INS
Extended character mode: Value Menu ~tex
Character set: Value Menu iso-8859-1
Finally hit the "Save for future sessions" button.

Thank you very much, the thing worked perfectly well, the only difference
from what you wrote was that i changed the ispell-local-dictionary-alist,
because the ispell-dictionary-alist looked a little strange to me (it is
something like "(append ... ... ...)" but i don't know where those variables
are stored). Your
sample entry for the italian dictionary was very very useful!
Thank you again! --- Maurizio Coccioli
