Re: Still in fog on ispell

Hi, Vip!

Watch out that there are several path variables which you can define in 
Emacs! E.g. the MS Windows PATH variable which applies to the cmd-shell 
in Emacs. Regarding aspell or other tools that Emacs relies on, make 
sure that they are included in the <exec-path> variable.

AFAIK, the MS Windows Environment Variable PATH should be included in 
<exec-path> automatically but in my case (GNU Emacs 22.1 on MS Windows 
XP) this failed. Therefore, I set all path variables separately in my 
.emacs file, e.g. I include the aspell/ispell path explicitly in my 
<exec-path>

(setq-default exec-path '(
;; GNU Utils
"C:/cygwin/bin/"
"C:/Program Files/Aspell/bin/"
;; MS Windows Integration
"."
"C:/WINDOWS/"
"C:/WINDOWS/system32/"
"C:/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem/"
"C:/Program Files/Support Tools/"
))


Hope this helps.

Will
