Subject: Pine won't do spell function ?

I just switched IP's and this Pine 3.91 won't do 'Spell check' - 
ctl-T. I get a 'user/bin/spell: file not found'. I went to the 'user/bin'
directory and I do not see spell or even Ispell. But if I type spell + file
it kicks back bad words. My question would be how can I check all the dirs
for spell or ispell to see where it is located ?

Well, there are several ways to do this.  If you happen to be using tcsh
as your shell, you can type spell and press ESC followed by the ? key to
get tcsh to show you what the path to the command is.  This only works if
the command is in your path (which it obviously is).

Another way is to type 'where spell'.  I'm not sure under what conditions
this works, but it will probably show the executable and the man page
both.

If worse comes to worse, you can use the find command as such:

find / -name spell -print

The disadvantage is that it will search the entire file system and will
return errors for directories you don't have access to.
