>What is not good about it?



For instance:



1. It does not tell me that aspell is the default



2. It does not tell me that even when I use ispell-word, it might actually

do something else (aspell-word maybe).



3. It does not describe that it searches PATH.



I could delve into that and add to the documentation.  It has some information

but not comprehensive enough to actually set things up in practice without

any doubt. 



These comments were written to help based on my experience.

That's the place.

What is not good about it?
