hi again

if I may make one suggestion, A command reference would be handy.


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.

This is more important that features. The aspell --help lists
commands first but is very brief about {dump|create|merge}
{master|personal|repl} [<name>].


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.

Agreed, the --help output should be brief. On the other hand the docs should be the opposite ;). Especially usage examples never hurt.
