Does anyone have code that would propose alternate spellings for words that are misspelled? (Invoking the unix spell program obviously doesn't handle that too well.)

Assuming you're using GNU Emacs on a Unix system, what you want is ispell and its Emacs interface, ispell.el. I believe both are available via anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu. If you have lispdir.el, you could have done: M-x lisp-dir-apropos [RET] spell [RET] Which would pop up a buffer containing, among other things, this reference: ispell 87-10-26 Ashwin Ram, <Ram-Ashwin@cs.yale.edu,(B) Ram@yalecs,yale!Ram-Ashwin> tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/as-is/ispell.el.Z Ispell interface. [Actually, you wouldn't get the third line, which tells you that ispell is archived on tut.] More information on lispdir and the elisp archives on tut is available from the files lispdir.doc.Z, lispdir.el.Z, and LCD-datafile.Z -Dave Sill dsill@relay.nswc.navy.mil Elisp Archive Coordinator
