72
73 <p>As with previous versions of Aspell you can specify the main
74 dictionary to use via the <samp>-d</samp> or <samp>--master</samp> option.
75 However as of <acronym>Aspell .32</acronym> you can now also:
76 </p>
77 <ol>
78 <li> Specify more than word list to use with the
79 <samp>extra-dicts</samp> option.
80
81 </li><li> Specify special <em>multi</em> dictionaries.
82 </li></ol>
83
84 <p>The <samp>extra-dicts</samp> is a list option.  To add a dictionary use
85 <samp>add-extra-dicts</samp> or to remove a dictionary from the list
86 use <samp>rem-extra-dicts</samp>.
87 </p>
88 <p>A <em>multi</em> dictionary is a special file which is basically a list
89 of dictionary files to use.  A <em>multi</em> dictionary must end in
90 <samp>.multi</samp> and has roughly the same format as a configuration file
91 with the only accepted key being <samp>add</samp>.
