WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A user creates a supplemental dictionary in the Spell utility using Option 1 Create/Change Dictionary, Option 2 Supplementary, the name is entered, 2 to Add Words, and then 4 to Add To Main Word List From File. In List Files, if he tries to retrieve or look at the .SUP file, nothing is there. Solutions: On page 650 of the WordPerfect reference manual, it states, "If a supplementary dictionary is currently selected, options 1 (Change/Create Dictionary) and 2 (Add Words) are not available, although they appear on the screen." In actuality, the Spell utility will let you go through the motions of creating a supplementary dictionary, but nothing happens. On page 644 of the manual, the explanation of creating a supplemental dictionary states that "You can create your own supplementary dictionary by typing a list of words in WordPerfect and saving it in the WordPerfect directory. When you run the Speller, select 4 (New Supplementary Dictionary), then enter the full path and filename of your personal dictionary so that the Speller will use your supplementary dictionary instead of WP{WP}US.SUP. These are two correct ways to add words to a supplemental dictionary.
