Dear Richard Stallman:
 I have just started using GNU emacs, and I want to compliment you on
writing a wonderful editor. I have one suggestion. Maybe the variable
TeX-command should be an optional variable, so that the user can set
it from within emacs. This is useful for users such as myself, who
want to load their own TeX format file with "tex &fmtfile". I have
already added the "*" in the appropriate place of my copy of GNU
emacs.
  I have one question. Do you know where, or if, I might be able to
obtain a copy of a British dictionary for ispell. The British
dictionary included with UNIX is full of spelling mistakes.
   Thank you once again for writing this editor.
                    Sincerely yours,

                    Sandy Rutherford
