That works fine.

Calling aspell by its absolute path did not make a difference. The
spellcheck still comes back with no errors (even though there are). Could
you tell me if the following bit in sqspell_config.php is correct?

$SQSPELL_APP = array("English" => "/usr/bin/aspell -a",
                        "Portugese" => "/usr/bin/aspell -d Portugese -a",
                        "Spanish" => "/usr/bin/aspell -d Spanish -a",
                        "German" => "/usr/bin/aspell -d German -a",
                        "French" => "/usr/bin/aspell -d French -a",
                        "Italian" => "/usr/bin/aspell -d Italian -a"
                        );
$SQSPELL_APP_DEFAULT="English";

If I use the default sqspell_config.php with just the English dictionary
(pointing to /usr/bin/aspell) then I get a SquirrelSpell initiating window
with the message:
Please wait, communicating with the server...
and it simply sits there.

I am using Netscape 4.77 with java turned on.

Thanks for your help,
Stephen
