Have you ever wondered what makes Californians so calm?  Besides drugs,
I mean.  The answer is hot tubs.  A hot tub is a redwood container
filled with water that you sit in naked with members of the opposite
sex, none of whom is necessarily your spouse.  After a few hours in
their hot tubs, Californians don't give a damn about earthquakes or
mass murderers.  They don't give a damn about anything , which is why
they are able to produce "Laverne and Shirley" week after week.

I know 'ispell-change-dictionary' and in the context of ispell this
command works very well. But I don't know how to specifiy the aspell
dictionary name. It looks also that the dictionary names that are
listed by ispell-change-dictionary are only valid for ispell. So I
assume that this needs further customizing.

My system is configured as follow: 

  SuSE 9.0/de_DE@euro

The default dictionary is German and this works very fine. But how
will I customize the ispell variables so that aspell will find the
English dictionary?

I have the following in my .emacs file (which works for me):

(load "ispell")
(setq ispell-program-name "aspell")

where

"ispell-dictionary-alist" looks like this:

You can do very well in speculation where land or anything to do with dirt
is concerned.

it don't have ispell installed at all.

Thanks for the info. The SuSE installed aspell package contains only
the german and swiss dictionary. After I installed aspell by myself
then it was possible to choose the the right dictionary from 
/usr/local/lib/aspell.
