Let's see if I am on the right track... or am I placing these commands 
in the wrong files???

Could I add the following to /usr/share/spamassassin/20_body_tests.cf:

full RAPE               /rape/i
describe RAPE           contains rape

Then  add the following to /usr/share/spamassassin/50_scores.cf:

score RAPE                           4.125
