When I run ispell from XEmacs, I get an error complaining that ispell did not didn't produce a version number. It then sits and does nothing. Running ispell again is successful, but an ispell process continues to run in the background, and XEmacs squeals about that when I exit. Running ispell from the command line produces a perfectly reasonable version identification line. Has anybody else had this problem, and if so, how does one solve it? The problem is not a disaster, but it is rather annoying. Any assistance would be apprecated. Mark
