    You are welcomed JanWeiner, don't feel uneasy. On the contrary, I personaly can
    so much learn from your posts. I am not highly experienced or advanced
    linux (or generally computer) user and realy appreciate your
    explanations with great interest.

    At this moment my abiword instalation is out of use, and because I'm
    busy with other work cannot check my abi spellchecker. I'll give you
    tomorrow my observations. I can only say, that in other applications,
    e.g. LyX, spellchecking polish words with diacritics is very
    problematic.

    But what you say above sounds strange.
