Thanks Vin for the information.
Actually I did not installed any ispell software.  I assumed the Xemacs 
package would have installed.
So Now that make sence. I do have an Ispell version for cygwin I'll give 
that a try and see if it works.
If not, where can I find an ispell for Windows Xemacs version?
thanks.
