Thank you for spotting this one, Stephen. I'll update the readme for the next release. However, it is more appropriate to install the aspell package as it pulls in both libaspell15 and aspell-en which is the english dictionary. If you have the cygwin X-server and want to have fun, launch the X11 version of LyX (lyx-x11). Then, in a terminal window, type lyxclient and hit the Enter key. Now, in the terminal window from which you launched lyxclient (you do not have a prompt), try typing "file-open" without the quotes... To quit lyxclient type "BYE:" in the terminal window. This trick does not currently work with the native Qt graphics version (lyx-win). I'll have a look at the Qt sources, which are probably crippled when not using X11. However, I must find some time first, so don't hold your breath ;-) -- Enrico
