**********************************************************

Does anybody know how to check spelling of TeX files with GNUmacs?
The problem is with TeX control sequences.  The spelling checker
interprets a control sequence such as \input as being  nput ---that is,
it strips off the leading backslash and the next character, interpreting
it as an escaped character (a la C?).  I would be happy to have a
version of the spelling checker that merely ignores TeX control sequences,
since I can find out about misspelled control sequences merely by
looking at either the logfile or the finished output.

Thanks.
