Here is what it says when I type the above:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -alF ~/.aspell*
-rw-r--r--    1 michael  michael       458 Aug 21 
13:19 /home/michael/.aspell.en.prepl
-rw-r--r--    1 michael  michael        36 Aug 21 
13:19 /home/michael/.aspell.en.pws
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

I am now going to try aspell dump config | egrep -v '^#|^$'

and get the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aspell dump config | egrep -v '^# |^$'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aspell dump config | egrep -v         
Usage: egrep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try `egrep --help' for more information.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aspell dump config | egrep -v '^# |^$'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

and am trying aspell dump config | egrep -v "^# | ^$'


and get the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

I am trying aspell dump config | egrep -v '^#| ^$' and get
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 


I hope this helps.

Thanks in advance,

Michael
