Yep, I went to Red Carpet. Found that SuSE gnome-spell and Ximian
gnome-spell2 were already installed. Searched Red Carpet "Available"
stuff for aspell-en, aspell-fr, and aspell-pt; found them; and installed
them. Then went back to the composer preferences and clicked on the
language modules which now appear where the box had previously been
empty. 

Now everything works fine in all three languages. I do like a
spell-checker that recognizes which language I'm using and applies the
appropriate dictionary without any effort on my part!

Many thanks! Kelly Morris
