Many thanks. In my case, I installed AbiWord and Gedit because I was  
looking for some lightweight alternatives to OpenOffice.org, where my  
main concern is getting some text spell checked properly when  
cocoAspell is on the fritz. For some reason it is sometimes necessary  
to choose the correct language, then close the program and restart it  
before cocoAspell satrts spell checking in the correct language.  
Unfortunately, as can be seen in my e-mail "Possible Fink problem  
with install of AbiWord and Gedit." either Fink didn't process the  
packages properly or there are problems with the Fink packages,  
because spell checking doesn't work at all. Unfortunately, no reply  
yet to my mail.

Cheers,

Brian
