Many pardons if this request has been recently placed. I was wondering if anyone new about a capability in EMACS where you issue the spell command and with some other commands you can automatically feed the result of the spell, the misspelled words, into replace a command. Otherwise you have to get into doublw window mode and type it all out. Thanks in advance, Joe Heneghan

You didn't say which emacs! But in GNU emacs, you have the functions spell-word, spell-region, spell-string and spell-buffer. They run their arguments through spell, and then present each misspelled word in a query-replace and let you fix it (if necessary) everywhere it appears in the argument. Can't think of anything much handier. But if you have another emacs, I dont know what's available. /jr
