I am unclear how this got into the quoted message - but the cap fits; I am
starting a new thread.

Bad news.

I joined this list in the hope that my elementary aspell
<queries|puzzles> might get an answer - since all I get from newsgroups
is a deafening silence.

So here is the first elementary query.

I have successfully installed aspell-0.50.3 and everything works!

However I can find no trace of any configuration files - either global
or personal.

Running "aspell dump config" displays a lot of interesting info; but,
what if I want to change the current settings?

No problem (other than where?) when there is a current sample - e.g.

# local-data-dir descrip: location of local language data files
# local-data-dir default: <actual-dict-dir>
# local-data-dir current: /usr/local/stow/aspell/lib/aspell/

But what do I do with this (even if I understood the descrip):

# master descrip: base name of the main dictionary to use
# master default: 
# master current: 

And the following pair is also far from clear:

# lang descrip: language code
# lang default: <language-tag>
# lang current: en_US


# language-tag descrip: deprecated, use lang instead
# language-tag default: !lang
# language-tag current: en_US

All pointers will be gratefully received.
