I wish I had read this before I tried to spell check a document last
night. I simply 'right-clicked' on a misspelled word, and it totally
hosed my computer for a good hour or so (PII-450MHz).

Does anyone know if, now that I have all but the above three lines
commented out in the dictionary.lst file, it is safe to delete the
large non-English dictionary files that I will never use?
