Basic Usage
3.3 Using Aspell with other Applications
3.3.1 With Emacs and XEmacs
The easiest way to use Aspell with Emacs or XEmacs is to add this
line:
(setq-default ispell-program-name "aspell")
to the end of your .emacs file.
For some reason version 3.0 of ispell.el (the lisp program that
(x)emacs uses) want to reverse the suggestion list.  To fix this add
this line:
(setq-default ispell-extra-args '("--reverse"))
after the previous line in your .emacs file and it should solve the problem.
Ispell.el, version 3.1 (December 1, 1998) and better, has the list
reversing problem fixed.  You can find it at

.
3.3.2 With LyX
Version 1.0 of LyX provides support for Aspell's learning from user's
mistakes feature.
To use Aspell with LyX 1.0 either change the
spell_command
option in the
.lyxrc
file or use the
run-with-aspell
utility.
3.3.3 With VIM
To use Aspell in VIM you simply need to add the following line to your
.vimrc
file:
map ^T :w!<CR>:!aspell check %<CR>:e! %<CR>
I use
Ctrl-T
since that's the way you spell check in
pico
.  In order to add a control character to your
.vimrc
you must type
Ctrl-v
first.  In this case
Ctrl-v Ctrl-t
.
A more useful way to use Aspell, IMHO, is in combination with Newsbody
(

http://www.image.dk/~byrial/newsbody/
) which is how I use it
since VIM is my editor for my mailer and my news reader.
map ^T\\1\\2<CR>:e! %<CR>
map \\1 :w!<CR>
map \\2 :!newsbody -qs -n % -p aspell check \\%f<CR>
3.3.4 With Pine
To use Aspell in Pine simply change the option
speller
to
aspell --mode=email check
To change the
speller
option go to the main menu.  Type
S
for
setup
,
C
for
config
, then
W
for
where is
.  Type in
speller
as the word to find.  The
speller option should be highlighted now.  Hit enter, type in the
above line, and hit enter again.  Then type
E
for
exit
setup
and
Y
to save the change.
If you have a strong desire to check other people's comments change
speller
to
aspell check
instead which will avoid switching Aspell into email mode.
