call describe-variable using C-h v <variable name>.

Also check the values of these variables, AFTER attempting to spell-check
(i.e. after ispell has been loaded):
ispell-use-cocoaspell
ispell-program-name
aspell-knows-no-dicts
ispell-cocoaspell-dict-list
ispell-dictionary-alist

And check that the following cocoAspell directories exist:
~/Library/Services/cocoAspell.service/
~/Library/Preferences/cocoAspell/
/Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/
