Subject: ispell on pico

Hey,

  I've been using pine for some years now (running 4.30 now)-- a
couple almost exclusively since switching to Linux & for some
before via shell accounts.  I've found ispell always very good.

  But lately I've started teaching myself html & have been using
pico since pico is perfect for such simple text documents.
Trouble is, ispell acts very differently in pico than it does in
pine, & I can't find anything -- other than the fact there ~is~
spell check capability -- on spell check in pico.

  Is there any way to get ispell to act in pico as it does in
pine?

  Meph

Try

pico -s 'ispell [options]' file
