Re: Ispell not working in TeX mode

Sorry, it did not make a difference :-(

Sure. They are within the Aspell folder. Aspell should find them by itself.

survive the change of the slice/volume/partition/drive. If not, there 
are some variables you can set to determine exactly and unalterable 
where aspell will find its dictionaries and other paraphernalia, maybe 
best as "C:/...":
I am very sorry, but I am not very familiar with Lisp and Emacs 
programming. Thus, the above dose not make sense to me, at all. I do not 
think it is a problem to find aspell. It is within the path, and only 
AUCTeX is not able to start Aspell. Every other Emacs mode is able to do 
some, and from the command line I can start aspell as welll. As I wrote, 
I am able to switch a buffer from TeX mode to text mode, and aspell will 
work in that buffer.

It is within the path, so it should not matter. Aspell.exe is recognized 
no matter where on one "is" on the computer.

I am not sure what this is . . .

How would I do that? Sorry for asking, but as I said, I am no Emacs expert.

Thanks,
