I am new to Aspell and having a really tough time getting creating either my own \
master or personal wordlist to the default en dictionary so that it will pick up \
industry standard words.  I found your response on the mailing archive at \
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/aspell-user/2001-04/msg00008.html of aspell and \
wanted to ask for your assistance as I just couldn't find the right answer on the \
bulletin board.  Below are some steps I took using Aspell binary version for Windows.

Steps:  

          1. Create a wordlist file and named it mylist.txt.  mylist.txt is a space \
separated file with three words.  I want to know if I need to append an "#" to the \
end of the file.

          2. execute the command >aspell create --lang=en master ./mylist < \
..\data\mylist.txt       I have placed mylist.txt under the aspell_home/data folder.

          3. Then according to the directions of the manual I'm suppose to copy the \
file to the normal word list directory (use aspell config to find out this).  \
According to the aspell config command, I place the newly created mylist binary file \
into the aspell_home/dict as the following are my local config settings from the \
config command:

# dict-dir descrip: location of the main word list
# dict-dir default: <prefix:dict>
# dict-dir current: C:/Aspell/dict


    Ok that's where I'm stuck at.  You're directions said to use:

--add-extra-dicts=<dict name>

    So I tried aspell --add-extra-dicts=mylist, but the dictionary still does not \
bring up my words.  Please show me step by step how to create and remove my own \
wordlist for both master and personal list.

    It will be greatly  appreciately if these steps are incorporated into future \
manuals of Aspell.

    Thanks.

Tom
