I have installed ispell 2.0.02 (fresh off sonata) on my NeXT, and
keyed in the right incantation into my .emacs.  When I run
ispell-buffer (or ispell-region, unsurprisingly), my emacs
prefobnicates, but then just says Done!  even in buffers where I've
intentionally misspelled a word something awful.  I know that _some_
thing somewhere is working because ispell-word correctly flags the
error.  Now, I thought I had had this working at one point, but that
must have been just my imagination (too late in the night and too much
coffee)... 

	Any ideas about what I need to change?  From running
ispell-buffer on another unix system (my Project Athena workstation),
I have verified that my memory of ispell-buffer's working is actually
accurate, but I can't just snarf ispell.elc off of Athena since that
appears to be for a much older version of ispell.

	Do I just have something off my path or what?  Any help will
be much appreciated.
