yes, it should work.
in your .abiword file, there is UnixISpellDirectory="/usr/lib/ispell"
and SpellCheckWordList="american.hash". we do a sprintf "%s/%s" on
these 2 to construct a pathname to the file containing the dictionary.
confirm that that's where the .hash file is. you might try a
'locate american.hash' and see what it finds....

are they word97 or word95 ?? apparently, the file formats are
vastly different.... if they are 97, i'll defer to Shaw....
