Running ispell

Running ispell

[Alberto Simões]

Hi

I am trying to configure ispell, but when I run M-$ I get the default 
usage message from ispell.

I can't find in the customization entries anything that might be wrong. 
How can I check the command that is really being issued, so I can debug 
this problem?

Thank you
Alberto

Options menu -> Customize Emacs -> Specific Group..., type isp TAB or  
ispell RET – ready. Apply or save your changes.

In *shell* buffer: ps -augwwwx | grep -v grep | egrep '^USER|spell'

or in another shell: pstree -w -p <emacs pid>; <emacs pid> can be  
determined in *shell* buffer with 'echo $$' (close match) or (exact):  
pstree -w -p $$.

There's something the technicians need to learn from the artists. If  
it isn't aesthetically pleasing, it's probably wrong.

ps on cygwin just lists two processes, bash and the ps
emacs is being run in this case as a win32 patched version in c:\program 
files
I had similar problems a week ago.
I got aspell which is invoked at each ispell command automatically.
