Hello, Eric... I'm sorry I couldn't answer your OLC question before you
logged out. Your question was:
> Perhaps just a comment...the "look" command under ispell

This is because ispell is misconfigured on the SGIs. It is trying to
find the "look" program in /usr/bin, whereas that program is actually in
/usr/athena/bin.
Also, it is searching for /usr/dict/words, which doesn't appear to exist
in the SGI (certainly not at that location).
There isn't much that you can do about this, but I'm sending a bug
report to "bugs@mit.edu" about this.
I hope this answers your question, and thanks for using OLC!
