Pine Folks:

We have just installed pine-3.05 on our Solbourne (sparc) 5e/902
running an adaptation of SunOS 4.1.1.  I would like to know how to
use ispell-2.0.02 with pine/pico.  I tried using the SPELL environmental
variable without luck.  I noticed the emacs interface calls ispell with
the "-A" option so I tired that too.  Is there any way I can get ispell
to work?

Please mail responses.  Thanks in advance.

I have also tried this and obtained similar results :-( (In fact, I posted
a similar message to this group.) This would be a really **nice** feature
to add to pine ...

Thanks, to you both, for the suggestion!  Pine's integrated spelling
function is pretty limited right now, and improving this is on the list
for the future. 

In the mean time, there's a neat work around courtesy of the "editor="
variable in your .pinerc.  Setting this to "ispell" (may need to specify
the full path), will cause the "^_ Alt Edit" label to appear on the key
prompt line when the cursor is in the body of your composition.  Hitting
ctrl-underscore will launch ispell on the contents of your message, and
drop you back into the composer with the new text when ispell exits. 

Haven't played with this much myself, but I hope it helps...

Thanks for the work around Mike. I can see that this has potential, but
I like to use this key to launch emacs; I can then access ispell from
within emacs. It would be nice to see this feature in a future release of
pine, and I am pleased that you have added this to your list :-)

Ian.
