ispell within emacs

[José Alberto Lobo <lobo@ffn.ub.es>]

    Hi!,

    I have a problem to set up an emacs-ispell connection which works
with Spanish for TeX/LaTeX files. There are two spanish dictionaries
in the emacs edit>spell menu --the second one suitable to check for
8-bit characters.

    It appears that the flag  -t  is intended to cause ispell to pro-
perly interpret TeX/LaTeX commands and act accordingly. While this
works for English it does NOT fully work for Spanish. Thus for example
the command

		ispell -t -d castellano spanish_file.tex	(1)

    issued from an xterm does not recognise TeX style accentuated char-
acters as parts of words. If the following is issued instead

		ispell -T TeX -d castellano spanish_file.tex	(2)

    then everything goes smooth, and the dictionary can be used to full
power.

    It seems to me, by its behaviour, that the call made to ispell from
within emacs has the form (1) above. I would like to know if it is pos-
sible to customize emacs so that it rather uses the form (2), and how.

    Anybody any hints, please?! Best,
					 Alberto

    PS: I run GNU Emacs 20.3.2 on Debian 2.1.
