As I mentioned, this does not work on Mac with the latest ispell 
version, if you have both ispell (not especially configured) and aspell 
(configured in your home directory as needed). I need both since some 
packages don't accept aspell even with the spell script. And this is 
really with the latest version of ispell (I run version 14 of TeXmacs 
since its release with no dictionary issues, but very recently ispell 
released a new version and with this release there was no way to spell 
check (not only under TeXmacs, but under any package). So for me the 
easiest work around was to create a sym link and it works perfectly 
with any package. It seems to me more logical than torture TeXmacs till 
it accepts the dictionary or spend three hours to compile a hashed 
dictionary and obviously redo the process the next time ispell changes 
its working way. Not to mention that the location of the dictionary is 
hard-coded in TeXmacs and it can be that this hard-coded location will 
not be the real location.
