Ispell suddenly stopped working, while in use. When called, it says it is searching, but immediately hangs. Sometimes the cursor goes to the end of the current line. Otherwise, there is no visible activity. As usual, info gives me the feeling of coming in in the middle of a conversation. Is it possible that my dictionary has been corrupted or rendered inaccessible? I have never been able to locate either the default dictionary or my personal dictionary; C-h v says they are nil. -- --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net ||: I'd rather be in bed. :||
