Harry and Michael,

Thanks very much to both of you. Good to know that I do in fact need to create 
custom dictionaries. I looked a couple of Open Office dictionaries, but some of 
them contain extraneous characters because they're specially formatted for use 
with the OO spell checker, as opposed to wordlists per se. At the moment I'm 
having better luck with aspell wordlists. If I'm able to create and use such 
custom dictionaries successfully, I'll post them to the ML community site.

Many thanks,
Greg

Oh, yes. Outstanding. I guess licensing might be the only wrinkle in using them 
to make a custom dictionary.

That first line '104662' appears to be the number of words in the dictionary.

$ unzip -p /Users/mblakele/Downloads/ChemDictOOo.oxt ChemDictOOo.dic | wc -l
 104662
