The easiest thing to do is to create a separate dictionary with the medical terms using something like aspell create master ./dict_name < med_lst where med_lst is the list of medical terms and dict_name is the name of the complied word list (See sec 4.1 of the Aspell manual for more information). You can then load this dictionary (in addition to the normal word list) by using --add-extra-dicts=<dict name>. If the new dictionary is not in the same location as the normal dictionaries then <dict name> must be the extra path. If speed is of a concern (too many dictionaries can slow things down) that you might want to create a new dictionary which included all of the Aspell words plus the additional medical terms. To do this you can do something like. aspell dump master | cat - <medical word list> \ | aspell create master ./<dict name> and then only load that word list using --master=<dict name> --- Kevin Atkinson kevina at users sourceforge net http://www.ibiblio.org/kevina/ _______________________________________________ aspell-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/aspell-user
