I don't see the difference. AbiWord uses pspell, not aspell - although now that GNU aspell is out the distinction is gone - and pspell uses whatever. > Anyway, yes, that worked perfectly!

How is one supposed to know this? How did you know this? > Did I miss something? AbiWord's default 1.0.x builds use ispell; pspell is an option that some people/distributions use. It's well known that debian uses the pspell option. Certainly obvious looking at http://packages.debian.org/unstable/editors/abiword-common.html and a Google search for "abiword debian dictionary" makes it pretty clear as well... Still, I suppose you're right. What changes, and where, do you suggest?
