[ it seems that my postings aren't making it out, so here goes again... ]
I am having problems with "ispell", as picked up from osu-cis. It
seems that the emacs-lisp fron-end is *not* passing one word per line
to the ispell server process. Instead, it is passing *entire* lines
of text.
I am not an emacs-lisp expert, so I don't pretend to understand the
code. It seems to be doing a "forward-word" each time, and writing
that word out to the server (actually, a temporary buffer).
Did I miss a patch?
Any help would be appreciated.

There are a couple of lines in ispell.el that should say: (defvar ispell-filter-hook-args '("-cs" "[A-Z][a-z]" "[\012*]") "Argument LIST to pass to ispell-filter-hook") I'm sorry, I do not have the original source for this line. It is really close but not quite right. Make this change and byte-compile ispell.el and everything should work. BTW: The error is in the hook-args. -- Terry Hull Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Kansas State University INTERNET: terry@eecea.eece.ksu.edu Manhattan, KS 66502 UUCP: rutgers!ksuvax1!eecea!terry

I am having problems with "ispell", as picked up from osu-cis. It
seems that the emacs-lisp fron-end is *not* passing one word per line
to the ispell server process. Instead, it is passing *entire* lines
of text.
Look at the ispell-filter-hook and ispell-filter-hook-args values in
ispell.el.
My values here are "tr" for ispell-filter-hook and
for ispell-filter-hook-args '("-cs" "[A-Z][a-z]" "[\\012*]")
The two values work in concert to break up the buffer into single
words to be fed to ispell.

Hi, Has anyone improved ispell.el to take care of these problems? 1. Sometimes the phrase "Can't find word so-and-so" appears because of some synchronization between the words in the buffer and the words passed through ispell. 2. The program sometimes gets very confused if you quit out in the middle using control-g. -Michael
