Checking a whole buffer
-----------------------

   If you want to check the spelling of all the words in a buffer, type
the command `M-x ispell-buffer'.  This command scans the file, and makes
a list of all the misspelled words.  When it is done, it moves the
cursor to the first word on the list, and acts like you just typed M-$
Note: Word.

   When you finish with one word, the cursor is automatically moved to
the next.  If you want to stop in the middle of the list type `X' or
`<Ctrl>-G'.
