Just a quick warning to people: ispell has a bug that will clobber
your personal dictionary. This bug shows up in both emacs and normal
modes. In normal mode, any multiple file invocation will bring up
the bug:
ispell a.ms b.ms
In emacs mode, the bug shows up if you use ispell-{region,buffer,word}
more than once in an emacs session. Needless to say, this is a bloody
pain for emacs users.
I know what the problem is, but the simple fix doesn't work.
In the meantime, you may want to keep a backup copy of .ispell_words
around, in case ispell wipes it out.
