    sorry if there is confusion about the rms, i am the
    only rms i know and i posted once before about this
    same subject, so if i violated any rules of courtesy
    then i apologize. i also am not much of a technical
    person anymore, so i do not know what you mean about
    ispell hashes. how do i know if i installed the right
    dictionary? sorry for my ignorance in this matter, how
    many ispell dictionaries do i have? is the one from
    kde different from the abispell one?

    rms.
