I knew something like this existed but never checked the mode name :)
Hmm....  Requires ispell...  Piece of cake with portupgrade (could be 
the most widely used ruby program in (Free)BSD world).... Oh man! you're

But how about perl jargons?  "automagical"....Ni!  
"barewords"....Ni!....  Hmm.  This mode needs some more education :)  
Thanks.  More than 10 years w/ Emacs and still lost in modes....

                         ^^^^^pretty funny.  MacOS X Mail underline this 
but not
                                     "Emacs".  Is it smart enough to scan $PATH and 
make them
                                        correct?
