JED Support in dictionaries-common
----------------------------------

***** NEWS *****
A new improved jed interface to ispell has been included in package
jed-extra (not officially released yet), which is compatible with
dictionaries-common.  For those reasons the jed support in
dictionaries-common has been removed.  The text below is not completely
accurate and must be changed in the future.
****************

The JED support provided by the dictionaries-common package improves
the native Ispell support in the jed package by adding a new
interactive S-Lang command `ispell_change_dictionary'.  This function
allows the user to change the Ispell dictionary that will be used in
subsequent calls to the `ispell' command (normally bound to `M-$') and
will do completion using the list of Ispell dictionaries that are
currently installed in the system.

To set the default dictionary for all JED sessions put the line

Ispell_Dictionary = "language";

in the ~/.jedrc file.  The available list of dictionaries is obtained
by launching jed and typing:

[M-x] ispell_change_dictionary [ENTER] [TAB]

The default value of the Ispell_Dictionary variable is "default".
