Dear readers, 
	the subject says it all... Here come a couple of lines that should
be added to ispell.el to be able to use the italian dictionary file which
is slowly being spread through italian speaking countries...

Next comes the news that I checked, since a week or so, the octave*.el
files to run octave within emacs, and they run very well under xemacs. 
Now, I think they could well get into xemacs distributions, since they are
of use both to octave users, and to matlab addicted people.

Last, but not least, I'm still struggling with pc-select.el, and with the
`ensure-mark' function. I'm still convinced that importing that file into
xemacs lisp tree could be very useful, and help spreading the word, but I
don't see a way to help doing it myself.

Yours
