If you drop into a command shell and type:
man aspell
or
info aspell
....then it may be what you are looking for.
However, note, it appears they need some updates right now.

You could say that 99% of the time, nobody needs to read the --help and 
it would simply be loaded into memory taking up unneeded RAM space and 
requiring extra time to load due to the size of the program (with extra 
stuff).
It makes sense to keep --help brief for the odd time you need help, this 
way it keeps the programs and library light.

Hope that helps.
