I've been trying to use ispell or what is the default spell checking
program on the Mac / TexShop / Aquamacs. I though it is via ispell, for
TexShop, because:

Aquamacs has LaTeX aware spell checking, by Mac / Apple spelling program,
with ispell-program-name NSSpellChecker, via ispell interface of Emacs.

No, I do not have cocoAspell. I lost it when I tried to update it from
leuski's website. It's indeed very old and I would prefer what TeXShop and
Aquamacs use. And that is why I picked up
ispell-bg-4.2
from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bgoffice/files/Ispell%20BG/
(nothing there is specifically for Mac)

If you would recommend cocoAspell, I'll try to install it.
Thanks!
Roussanka

Good Luck,
