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 See section `init file' in emacs.
(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.)
Go to the first, previous, next, last section, table of contents.
