The templates are filed in your user settings' folder. You can install the
dictionary there as well. If you use the wizard (which I would not
recommend after trying it), it will install in your user settings' folder.
The file which most annoys people is dictionary.lst, which lists the
dictionaries to be loaded on start up. That is located amongst the software
files and is overwritten on a new installation. At least one issue has been
filed about overwriting of customisations. Hagar de l'Est or someone
equally versed in such matters may be able to provide details.
