~/.ispell-default is only used by ispell-wrapper, not by ispell itself. I should have put something about it in text. > Please indicate which dictionary should be used as a > system-wide default.

I like the second part, with some reference to ispell-wrapper added, but would make the first different. Symlinks will indeed be used only when ispell is invoked without any "-d" option. Something like When no explicit dictionary is specified on its invocation, ispell will fall back to using the default dictionary pointed to by symlinks named default.aff and default.hash under /usr/lib/ispell. Please indicate which dictionary should be used as a system-wide default. This determines the target of the aforementioned symlinks and also sets global ispell-wrapper and Emacs defaults. Use "Manual symlink setting" if you want to handle the symlinks yourself. There will be no global Emacs nor ispell-wrapper defaults for ispell in that case. Thanks or your help.
