Oh wise and wonderous Unix wizards -- answer this humble question please?
Does anyone know how to tell spell that I have a dictionary of specialized
words in addition to the main list? (Sys V.2 Unix) I'm writing papers on
neurophysiology and it gets pretty tiresome reinstructing the spell program
each time it finds a "special" word.
Thanks.
