JMarc,
Thanks very much for the insight. I've not before paid any attention to
this.
It depends on what spell checkers have been compiled in when building LyX.
I just looked at the SlackBuild script I've used for years (chaning only
version numbers) and see nothing related to spell checkers in the configure
section so I assume that all but ispell are in included.
Interesting detail.
Best regards,
Rich
