Old Emacs
=========

   Until ispell becomes part of the standard emacs distribution, you
will have to explicitly request that it be loaded.  Put the following
lines in your emacs init file Note: init file.

     (autoload 'ispell-word "ispell" "Check the spelling of word in buffer." t)
     (autoload 'ispell-region "ispell" "Check the spelling of region." t)
     (autoload 'ispell-buffer "ispell" "Check the spelling of buffer." t)
     (global-set-key "\e$" 'ispell-word)

   (It will do no harm to have these lines in your init file even after
ispell is installed by default.)
