Hi

Regretably, the script doesn't work on this woody system.  The 'which
nano' shows that the path needs editing but this is not the only issue.

Perhaps a few paths could be offered:

# For xxxx users, uncomment the following line:
#/usr/local/bin/nano -t -R -k -p -x -r65 -s "ispell -x" $1
Debian users umconnent the line below and leave the one above commented
out!
/usr/bin/nano -t -R -k -p -x -r65 -s "ispell -x" $1

Yesterday, I came across the path declaration statements which are
really cool.  But perhaps a little excessive for such a script.

But it would look like this!

#!/bin/sh
# Edit the following to match your system.
# You can find the correct values by typing at a shell prompt:
# which nano
# and
# which ispell
# the correct values will be displayed
$NANO=/usr/bin/nano
$ISPELL=/usr/bin/ispell
$NANO -t -R -k -p -x -r65 -s "ispell -x" $1
$ISPELL -x $1

HTH
