I currently use emacs to write my LaTeX files.  In the past (when I used
a VAXstation3100) I used ispell (a program on MIT's athena system) to
spellcheck my latex files, using "-t" as an option so that commands
beginning with a backslash would be ignored.  Does such a program exist
on the NeXT?  I am currently using "spell" which is on the NeXT machine
to do my spell checking, but there doesn't seem to be a simple option to
ignore TeX commands as in ispell.  Is there a simple way get around this?
Is there a way to get around this problem using the spell checking
command in Edit?

Lars.
