Does JFW allow you to create multiple dictionary manager configurations? If
so, this might be a way to accomplish what you are trying to do.

>>>Back to the drawing board...
>>>With JFW processing the dictionary file like that, it is basically doing

>>>.%.percent.
>>>,.,period,
>>>.!.exclaim.
>>>.'.apostrophe.
>>>.#.number.
>>>./.slash.
>>>.;.semi.
>>>.$.dollar.
>>>[email protected].
>>>.&.and.
>>>
>>>will announce them with their default phony, and with punctuation set to
>>>None!
>>>A good example where this is useful is in E-Mail and News groups; I
prefer
>>>only to hear a couple of punctuation characters while reading text like
>>>that.
>>>
>>>One thing I'm not sure about is can a jdf file be set to act on a
