This is a feature, not a bug. By default, ispell uses the nroff deformatter. \sp is a control sequence in nroff. (More accurately, \s<n> where n is a number, is a control sequence, but ispell's deformatter is a bit dumb about it.) You'll find similar problems with \f and \(. If you want plain-text deformatting, ispell 3.3 offers the "-o" option to do that. -- Geoff Kuenning [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~geoff/ One could not be a successful scientist without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of scientists, a goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid. -- James Watson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
