That's because the initial buffer is *scratch* which is in a special
mode.  What happens when you C-x b foo RET to create a new buffer
foo?  This should be in fundamental mode.

If this was it, then you just need to repeat the global-set-key for
C-i for all modes.  For example:

(define-key lisp-interaction-mode-map "\C-i" 'ispell-word)

It would be local to the wrong buffer, if executed from .emacs, I
guess.

This is a little involved...  Hm.

I am having trouble finding the emacs command for Find Next. Basically, I
want to be able to press a key and have it search for the next occurrence of
the previously entered search string. I know that I can do CTRL-S while in
isearch and it will move to the next occurence. I want to do this after
exiting isearch.

On a related subject, what is the name of the variable that stores this last
search string? I want to be able to save this for each file from session.el.

Thanks.
