If you use Gnuemacs and TeX, this is the best combination. VorTeX lets you establish private dictionaries, either per-user, per-paper or global. When you spell check, it acts much like ispell, however, it also allows you to query the dict. to find pre/suf/in-fix spellings. I belive that the Gnuemacs portion of the package is publicly available, while the the remainder ( a TeX previewer and some other stuff ) costs you about $100. None the less, the macros by themselves are very useful. I picked them up on one of the Bezerkeley hosts -- perhaps Pehong Chen (phc@renior.berkeley.edu), the author, might respond with more information.
