[Aspell-user] aspell-import unruly behavior

"I first searched the archives and the only instances of
"aspell-import" mentioned are under making Aspell, so 
I guess it is not a typical problem.

I 've read the documentation and it seems sketchy to
me, perhaps my syntax is off. I 'm using Windows XP
and have the new 1.3.6.17 native windows lyx and an
older Cygwin LyX version and have tested on both.

I wanted to make a combined English/French wordlist,
give it a personal dictionary filename, use aspell-import
to make it a dictionary (.rws?) and use it as the default
spell-checking dictionary for LyX."

Hi,

I found out how to do this using create master dictionary.
Some of the French words are hyphenated and the default
Aspell filter won't allow type of symbol " - ". I saw some
developer documentation about filters so will refer to that.
I wanted to save somebody a reply effort to the first post.
It was easy to delete the unacceptable symbols with emacs.

Regards,
Stephen
