This can lead to problems on w32 where ispell is still left running after I finish editing a file, which means I cannot rename, move nor delete the directory in which that file reside. I use flyspell and, for some reason I do not understand too well but which might be related to how ispell works, whenever I change from a buffer with "LocalWords: " definition to one without it, ispell process is restarted. But it not always restarted again when I kill the new buffer and go back to the old one. I often visit some file, edit it, and then want to rename the directory. It is not (I think) a problem in GNU/Linux, but on w32 system will not allow me to do it, since there is an ispell process running from that directory. A simple fix would be to run ispell in some predefined directory, at least on Windows -- c:/ for example. I do not think the location matters for ispell. -- Best wishes, Slawomir Nowaczyk ( slawomir.nowaczyk.847@student.lu.se ) Lottery: A tax on people who don't understand statistics.
