I'd be expecting to find a file called custom.dic in
~/.Abisuite/

Hmm, did a quick test with Abiword 2.2 and the words added to the custom
dictionary dont stick after you quit they are all gone. So I guess I can
confirm there was a problem but it may already have been fixed. If you
check bugzilla.abisource.com you might be able to find an existing report.
