Spelling checker properties

Changes to maker.ini (in the user area) must be done prior to the start of FM. Changes during the run of FM are not used - overwritten at the termination of FM.

Although maker.ini (in the user area) can be modified during the run of FM, these

Klaus' FM-dict app suggests that what you want to do is possible. It has more details on the Adobe/FM dictionary structure in it's PDF manual.
