Thanks for valuable information.  I have built up an Afrikaans ispell
dictionary which I can use with Lyx and from the command prompt, but 
M-x ispell-change-dictionary from emacs or xemacs does not work.  (X)emacs
reports: "no match".

Is that an emacs problem or an ispell problem?  

Xemacs offers the following options for a choice of a dictionary:

american default english francais7 nederlands8 svenska8 
british deutsch francais italiano norsk
dansk deutsch8 francais-tex nederlands svenska

Will it help if I recompile ispell with an afrikaans option?
