Hi,
  I have a problem with ispell in GNU emacs 18.55.3. The problem is with emacs
because it does not occur with ispell outside emacs.

  Whenever I use ispell-region or ispell-buffer from within emacs everything
works fine except that when I request that a word be added to my personal
dictionary, the contents of my personal dictionary is discarded except for the
word I just added. That is, if my personal dictionary has 100 words in it
before using emacs tfhen after ispell with emacs it will contain one word-- the
last one I tried to add. I looked at the lisp code for ispell.el and I cannot
see anything wrong. Also if I try to ispell-word then add the word to the
dictionary then it gets added ok.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,
John E. Davis
