Hi Jim,
On Mac OS X and Linux, you will find a dictionary in /usr/share/dict/
words.
You should be able to find dictionaries on the 'net, using your
favorite search engine.

The spell checking webinar reminded me of a problem I had with RR
and word games.
The dictionary I found on the web was 120,000 words and was too big.
Not because it was too big a file or too slow but because it had
words that most people never heard of. For example, the anagram
words for "wen" were "new" of course, but also "wen" which according
to the dictionary means:
1. Pathology. a benign encysted tumor of the skin, esp. on the
scalp, containing sebaceous matter; a sebaceous cyst.
2. British. a large, crowded city or a crowded urban district:London
is the great wen of England.
I noticed in the webinar that the dictionary used there is only
60,000 words, probably a better size for my needs.
Anybody know if there is a "free" dictionary of that size available
for download?
