The ispell man page says that ispell supports only two options, -l and
-a.  ispell -q, however, produces:

Usage: ispell [-dfile | -pfile | -wchars | -t | -x | -S] file .....
       ispell [-dfile | -pfile | -wchars | -t] -l
       ispell [-dfile | -pfile | -ffile | -t] -a
        p-H= [-wchars] -c

Does anybody know what any of this stuff does?  -d is apparently the
dictionary file to use, and -p is probably the personal dictionary to
use.  Furthermore, several people in the SIPB office claim to have
used -t successfully in the past to filter out LaTeX commands, which
leaves -x, -S and the stuff on the last line.

Could someone possibly check the sources and fix the man page?
