Remembering what you told me, the problem with “x” to exit ispell is solvable by inserting (dedicated . t) in the customization below. The other problem is not affected by this.

If I type ‘q’ to quit ispell, the answer to the “yes-or-no” prompt has not the intended effect but becomes written in the frame showing the choices.
