This would be fine but what I am trying to do is restrict the words that it 
displays to a small number of words.

I have a website that that I have indexed.  I will grab the words that have 
been indexed and use those words to suggest a word similiar to the word that 
they entered.

What I have a problem with is the syntax creating my personal word list and 
then using that list to suggest the correct spelling.

I have the correct syntax to check the spelling against the current 
dictionary but not a list that I want to correct.

Thanks once again.

Hi Patrick,

I'm using aspell as installed under Cygwin (www.cygwin.com) and it works 
well
for me.  I have a shell script that tests a word or words for spelling under
Aspell and also gets a definition if available from WordNet (also part of my
Cygwin install.)

The easist way I've found is to echo / pipe the word to Aspell.  Here is a
sample command line by Aspell when passed in the incorrectly spelled 
"synoym"
instead of "synonym," the correct spelling:

echo "synoym" | aspell -a

     Mon Feb 07 11:26:54 ~/>spell synoym
     @(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.50.3)
     & synoym 16 0: synonym, synonymy, Sonoma, synod, Symon, Sony, synonyms,
     snowy, snot, syn, Sonya, Sunny, sunny, Storm, snout, storm


Here is a function I used in the BASH shell under Cygwin to send words to 
both
Aspell and WordNet on my local machine:


TIMESTAMP=$(date '+%Y%m%d_%H%M%S')
PROGRAM_NAME=$0
SEPARATOR="--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
function1() {
         :
         for THEWORD in "$@"
         do
                 echo "${TIMESTAMP}-----aspell-----${SEPARATOR}"
                 echo "${THEWORD}" | aspell -a
                 echo "${TIMESTAMP}-----wordnet-----${SEPARATOR}"
                 wn "${THEWORD}" -over
         done
         echo "${TIMESTAMP}-----done-----${SEPARATOR}"
}
