Hmm, I don't think that the environment variables have line breaks in them, 
since with:

$ echo :$LANG:
:en_US.UTF-8:

the colons are adjacent to the expected value.  FWIW, I set them with the 
windows settings dialog.  I don't know about aspell config files, but I 
haven't changed any.

Cheers,  Josh
