Hi,
I have installed Lyx 1.4.2 on my pc running windows xp. During the
installation process aspell 0.6 was also installed because I didn't have
it.
How can I use aspell outside lyx? I cannot find the executable anywhere on
my pc but aspell works within lyx. I would like to be able to use aspell in
xemacs and also from the command line. How can I do this without installing
the stand-alone aspell? If I do install the latter will it conflict with
the
one that gets installed by lyx 1.4.2 setup program?
Any helps in these matters would be greatly appreciated.

From the command line in C:\aspell, try typing
"aspell -c misspelledwords.txt" with the .txt file in C:\aspell
Here is a sample misspelledwords.txt file (cursor at beginning)
theils will have3 to do3es theml fou4r you
Later versions of the LyX will not find the first
instance of a misspelled word or numerals in words.
Import text as lines into LyX which will convert it to *.lyx
Spellcheck it and see if it detects theils as misspelled.
Both LyX137 and LyX142 can coexist and I have the earlier
version of standalone Aspell(.053)and its special dictionary
installed, and they all work without conflict.

Stephen
