  19. Hi Ken and other netters,
  20.  
  21.     I have been using you ispell patch for quite a while (since
  22. you last posted it I guess). I found that I had to make changes as follows
  23.  
  24.   case 'i': need_redraw = 1;                         /* KEN */
  25. -                 { int oldraw = RawState();
  26. -                         sprintf (kens_temp, "ispell %s", filename); /* KEN */
  27. -                         system_call (kens_temp, SH, TRUE, FALSE); /* KEN */
  28. -                         if (oldraw == ON) {
  29. -                                 Raw(OFF);
  30. -                                 Raw(ON);
  31. -                         }
  32. -                 }
  33.  
  34. The new bit is the if (oldraw == ON). It seemed that it was loosing raw
  35. mode operation on our ultrix4.2
  36.  
  37. Here is a diff against the elm2.4d"@(#)$Id: mailmsg2.c,v 4.11 91/02/28 20:12:37 syd Exp
