RE: Question about Main Dictionaries

["Addictive Software" <address@hidden>]

Hello Dave,

You can easily change any properties of the current configuration (just as
though the user has made the change themselves) via the Configuration
object:

AddictSpell.Configuration.XXXXX

You'll find the MainDictionaries, CustomDictionaries, ActiveCustom
dictionary, etc that are currently loaded there.

The ConfigDefaultXXX properties are all used when a new configuration is
created.


Thanks,
