I did that and get this:
<!-- Build_Options = LicensedTrademarks:Off Debug:Off BiDi:Off
Optimize:On Bonobo:Off DirectPrint:On Gnome:On LibXML:Off Pspell:On
Pspell is on but guess what; Linux Mandrake has Ispell and Aspell libraries
but no Pspell library. That is I made sure Ispell was installed when I
installed my Mandrake but I could not find Pspell. I can look again just to
make sure.
Thanks for your help Dom; you got a great WP here :-).
