Hi,

I have ISPELL ver. 2.0.01 (May 87). It runs fine as standalone program.
If I run it with ispell.el from within GNU Emacs 18.55 (on a 386/ix ver.2.02
PC) it doesn't. Symptom:
a ispell process is started, the status line tells me, that the word in
question is looked up. After that, noting happens anymore.
If I do a   kill ispell-process-id from another xterm   Emacs comes back,
tells me, that the spelling is right or even suggests other words. Somehow
the ispell process doesn't seem to stop executing or the relevant ispell.el
function doesn't notice it, or what so ever. 

Any help?

Thanks

Fritz Zaucker
