Not messed up, just different (I guess, I have never seen the FF141
version.  I started with Tomas Rokicki's version from BIX).

The version I started from opened a WB window all the time! (never
a custom screen...)  I changed this, so that if you started ISpell
up in a CLI window, it would use that CLI window (OR AUX: connection!).

Nope, I don't have this problem.  When I hit a single 'i', the
current word gets inserted into [s:].ispell_words like it should.
The only thing I can imagine is that you need ConMan to run ISpell
(I don't think so!).

If you want to mail me with more info, I will be more than happy
to help you resolve the problem.  PS, you may want to try server
mode, it is really nice...  [there were CED macros included with
the package]
