Hi:
	I am using Linux Slackware 3.0.  The spelling check in pine is 
not working.   Can anybody tell me how to config the system to use the 
ispell came with the Slackware.   Any help will be appreciated.

The following was posted a while back on comp.mail.pine.  Just save the 
following as /usr/bin/spell.  (Be sure to chmod a+x /usr/bin/spell.)  If 
you want to actually use ispell for spell checking, set the "alternate 
editor" to /usr/bin/ispell -x.
