I have built up an Afrikaans ispell dictionary which I can use with Lyx and from the command prompt, but M-x ispell-change-dictionary from emacs or xemacs does not work. (X)emacs reports: "no match". Is that an emacs problem or an ispell problem? Xemacs offers the following options for a choice of a dictionary: american default english francais7 nederlands8 svenska8 british deutsch francais italiano norsk dansk deutsch8 francais-tex nederlands svenska Will it help if I recompile ispell with an afrikaans option?
