Hello Charlie. I may have a scrap of information that could help you... I've been using LyX to write sci-fi stories for a while now and I needed to know where my spellchecker words were saved. So I could have the script that opens my story and related .lyx documents, swap out my regular spell checker file(s) for copies that included the fictional words that are part of my story just before it opens my story files with LyX. Then when I close that LyX session, my script swaps my regular spellchecker files back in, so I don't accidentally include one of my "fictional words" in a formal letter or something... Anyway, since my copy of LyX 2.1.4 happens to be using enchant I checked my script for the pathname of the file: ~/.config/enchant/en_US.dic Then I fired up LyX 2.1.4 on a test file and added the non-word "blablabla" to my word list, closed LyX and opened the above file with vim... Where I found "blablabla" at the bottom of the file: ~/.config/enchant/en_US.dic Needless to say, I promptly deleted that non-word from my word list. Hope this helps -- JtWdyP
