Ok tried this again.
I created a new Lyx file with two words, one was new for apell.
So i entered a name for my personal dict /users/gahr/Documents/
test.ispell. Klicked save button.
But after checking adding a new word to personal dic and
spellchecking completed there was no file /users/gahr/Documents/
test.ispell
So i tried another way and i created manually a new empty text file
named it /users/gahr/Documents/test.ispell.
But after checking and adding one word this file still remains empty.
I'm using coco aspell, is this possible that the error is in coco
aspell???

I opened the preference in Lyx and entered a file. The Problem:
Lyx will not create a new file personal dic file.
I can only choose .ispell files. But I am using aspell.
How do i get a new personal dictionary?????
Let me be more explicit. In LyX > Preferences > Language settings >
Spellchecker > Personal dictionary, enter a path and filename. (I
have "/Users/bennett/Documents/bennett.ispell" in there, but you
can use anything, with or without the .ispell ending. When you
click on the "Browse" button next to the Personal dictionary field,
LyX filters out all files except for .ispell files, which is why I
have chosen to keep the .ispell extension in my preferences. But
that's not necessary.) Click on the "Save" button.
No new file will be created yet, however. For that, you need to
spellcheck a document and add a new word. Then that file will be
created containing that word, and new words will be appended to the
file whenever you add them.
Note that the file is simply a plain text file; it doesn't matter
that you're using aspell with a personal dictionary that has
".ispell" in it or ".txt" or even no extension at all. That this
file is plain text means that you can open it in any text editor to
check your list, and even modify it if you like.
