[comp.sys.amiga] Problem adding to WordPerfect

kek@PacBell.COM (Kevin Keith) (07/25/89)

I am using WordPerfect (Version 4.1 on an Amiga 500) and can't figure out
what I'm doing wrong when trying to add words to the dictionary.  When I
"spell" a document, typing 2 or clicking on "ADD WORD" seems to have no
effect.  Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug?  Do I have to edit
the accepted spelling list?  If so, what's the "ADD WORD" menu option
supposed to do?

Your added words go into a "sup.wp" (sup for supplementary, I guess) file.
Sup.wp goes into the SPELL: (?) directory by default, although you can
configure WP to put it in any directory you want.  (I put the spelling
dictionary "lex.wp" on the WP disk & configured the program to look for
both lex.wp and sup.wp on that disk.)

This stuff is in the manual, by the by.  Look under "Configuration."

Hope this helps,
