I found some more information concerning the ispell problem with emacs. It seems that if I do ispell-buffer, region, or word on clean data (correctly spelled), I don't get any errors in the mini buffer and in fact, ispell-word even tells me the word is correct. Fine - that works as it should. However, as soon as there is a miss-spelled word to report, then is when I get the error in the mini-buffer saying that the text is read-only. It would appear that maybe ispell can't open a buffer to display the word choices. I don't know emacs lisp well enough to try and debug this thing but it's beginning to look like nobody else here is getting the problem or doesn't use this combination with emacs. Any other ideas out there?
