Finally got bitten by the auto-spell-check feature which I've become
so used to in openoffice and staroffice, so looked around for a
similar feature in Xemacs.  Was planning to hit Google, thought, let's
check the builtin documentation first.  Lo and behold, someone has
already thought of it and implemented it as a front-end to Ispell.
Pretty well, too.

So now I have flyspell-mode running in my text and mail buffers,
flagging spelling errors as I type them.  Flyspell offers automatic
flagging of typos, auto-correction, correction by selection from a
list of options, adding a word to your dictionary, ignoring a word for
the current document (buffer) and ignoring a word for all documents
edited in the current [X]Emacs session.  Any typos henceforth in my
messages are solely the responsibility of the little gremlins who
inhabit my non-working floppy drive.

Strongly recommend to all [X]Emacs users who prefer to have a minimal
level of quality associated with the documents they generate.

Now all I need is a local thesaurus and the corresponding [X]Emacs
interface and I'll die a happy man.

Regards,
