Subject: {Q}Problem with Pine spell check

I have recently been asked to start administrating our internet server so
I will appologize "up-front" for being semi UNIX ignorant.<g>

We are having a problem with the spell check feature within Pine (Pico).
Pine and Pico seem to work just fine but when you ask for it spell check, 
it just refreshes the screen and says that it is done.  Now we all know
that the spell checker ALWAYS finds something that it thinks is misspelled.
With that in mind I even purposely misspelled many words and it passed them
right up.  I guess my question is if there is a config. file that points to
a data base of words or maybe a switch somewhere that isn't set right.
Any words of wisdom is appreciated.  Thanks...

What type of system are you using?  Some Linux systems use ispell rather
than the traditional spell program and the command syntax is incompatible.
The Linux port of Pine has not been updated to take that into account...
