Hi!

I have just installed ispell for my emacs. I have ispell.elc in my
load-path
and I have installed ispell into c:/ispell and I have also added
c:/ispell/bin
to my path. I am using Windows 2000.

The problem occurs when I try to:

    M-x ispell.

I get the following line:

"Continuing spelling check using default dictionary..."

At this point it just hangs and I have to C-g to break it.

It seems to be a dictionary problem but I have built my 'english.has'
file
and put it into C:/ispell/lib. (When I built this I got a lot of
numbers on
the screen but it did not fail. Is this correct?)

Is there any way to configure ispell to run from another directory
such
as C:/progra~1/ispell ?


Regards.
