Hi Steve, > When I do any of the emacs commands like ispell-buffer or > ispell-region and the like, I keep getting a message in the prompt > line of emacs saying > "Text is read-only" That only concerns the contents auf the mini-buffer (where you enter commands). Do you use backspace in the mini-buffer? Do you do 'M-x ispell-change-dictionary' and select a dictionary, and then 'M-x ispell-buffer'? HTH, Mathias
