I have been using WriteNow as a wordprocessor on the mac. In my
(humble) opinion it's one of the best (and only release 1.0!).
My question deals with the use of the dictionary. The one I have
is "filled" with the English vocabulary, and occupies approx. 80K.
I would like to create a different dictionary, which contains 
words from the Dutch language.
Ofcourse I can just add new words to the existing dictionary, but it
would double it's size (plus allow strange mistakes!).
Is there someone around, who knows how to create a new dict. file,
or how to delete (part of) the contents of an existing dictionary?

Thanks in advance.
