Thanks, Robert.  I hadn't gotten the xemacs-sumo package.  Downloaded and
installed it and now ispell works (presumably using aspell since I didn't delete
the lines in init.el that set ispell-program-name to aspell).  I didn't change
this in the interest of not fixing what isn't broken, but your approach makes
sense.  Thanks for including it.
